i saw it in action and switched over. i am very confident with my 50lb power pro. and very comfortable with it.

my friends use it too. the other day my friend switched to something else.. to try it out.. it frayed and snapped constantly. lost almost 150yrds of snag ups in one day.. where as the power usually holds up and turns the rock over or breaks the stuff attached to it. (leaders, clips, hooks hell even the rod if you arent careful) i got snagged as many times and got everything back.

it does fray.. but no where near as much as i expected.i very rarely re rig DUE to fraying. and i fish alot of rocky bottoms and "boulderous" areas. when i do decide to re rig or change things i will remove the frayed stuff. but it is only slight fraying that wouldnt concern me. but if im changing anyway. might aswell remove the possible kinks. i personally enjoy the diameter of the 50lb. its not to thin where it becomes razor wire while casting. and its not to thick to hinder it either. haven't had experience with the other sizes though. started using and i'm stuck with it.

thats just what i know from personal use. im sure other will have other stories.

if you are interested just give it a shot one of these days and if ya dont like it ya can always switch back.
