Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

This makes ya wonder about Dyneema braid...
More reviews @
Dyneema braid - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum
I'm not a big Power Pro fan anyway after trying it a couple of times in the past.
I found it too limp and subject to wind knots.
In the course of this year I have experimented with Spiderwire Stealth (30# and 20#) and like it OK.
Recently put 8# Invisi Braid on one of my ultralites which I really like.
It is fairly expensive but is available in bulk spools (1500 yds) @ about 12˘ / yard.
Hope this helps!(RETIRED) mostly.

Power pro is all I'll ever use when I can afford it. Suffix I use most of the time for freshwater applications(I.e. pulling big spawning bass out of cover)

+1 on power pro, and I tried Jerry Brown once and liked it pretty good
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

I would stick to a brand that has actual quality control, preferably a tested brand Paulus Just fishing
"It worked for me" is not a scientific test.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
