i like wiplash, its smooth, casts well, i dont think it is as abbrasion resistant as others, but over all its good things outweigh its one not really bad thing. i think ive been fishing 50 and its very nice.
i like how its white too.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.

i started using the power pro 30lb a month ago...mixed feelings about it...sometimes those twists and loops have driven me insane, the abrasions have cost me both plugs and fish, and it is expensive...yet, the fact that i can cast a mile keeps me using it...

40# PP here. I like it green because it matches my eyes.

I use mainly Triline Big Game in 20 pound test
2 of my reels have power pro on them and I don't love it

I use a 3 to 4 foot 50 pound mono leader

For jigging, 50# Power Pro on a Newell P-220F. Go together like PB & J.

Spin jigging, I like 30# Fireline on a Penn 706.

For plugging, I'm more and more moving back to mono. 20# Big Game for spinning, 25# for conventionals in the Canal.

Gotta find me some of that Ande Backcountry before it disappears, tho

I am addicted to Ande backcountry. I use to use Fireline 20 and Big Game 20 on my spinning. Spectron 50# on the conventionals. I went over to the BackCountry on both and will not use anything else. Very abrasion resistant, no memory, strong, good knots, no wind knots on the VS 250.

No boat, back in the suds.

I'm on my 2nd year with 50 lb. Spiderwire Stealth and haven't had a single problem with it. Have used it on 3 different reels, all spinning and its worked fine.

As far as fishing with it....PowerPro by far. The stuff just sails through the guides like NO-OTHER.....however,,,, I have had several instances with PP (unexplainable breaks in the line) that really peeee'd me off.

Fireline is more reliable but not as smooth. IMO

I just spooled up my Nautil with some Gorilla Braid...haven't casted it yet though......

For mono, of course it's Big Game

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
