Power Pro Line (Guest Review)
by Duane Richards

I began using Power Pro in late 1999. I had been let down by many braids and fused spectra fiber lines in the past, to the point of even contacting the manufacturers and being refunded! Needless to say, trying a new “super line” was not on my plate for 1999. I expect a lot from my equipment and a super line should be no different.

Just when I least expected it, I received an email from a message board friend boasting on this new fishing line that he knew I’d just fall in love with. Like many of you already know, being closed minded never got you anywhere in fishing. Soon, I ordered my first spool of Power Pro with very little expectation, to say the least.

Once the Power Pro arrived, I spooled up 2 spinning and one bait-casting outfits (along with spare spools of monofilament just in case!). I was instructed to use a 3ft fluorocarbon leader with Power Pro, which I simply didn’t like. At the tip from another board user, he instructed me to NOT use any leader at all, just tie on direct and fish. I did both for many trips on my local waters and found the leader to be an un-necessary evil.

Much to my surprise, the Power Pro line performed flawlessly every day. I can’t describe just how much better “feel” you have verses a monofilament. It’s like the difference between a local drive through burger and a marinated, home-grilled ribeye steak!

I use a Carolina rig quite often with bait-casting equipment. If you really want to feel the bottom terrain with a Carolina rig, Power Pro is by far the best tool I have ever used. It’s like holding a depth finder in your hands. The line sends every little under water feature right to your fingers. It’s simply put… “The best Carolina rigging line you’ll ever use”.

The Power Pro has no stretch, will not cut rod guides, it’s super sensitive and strong, has no memory, it’s limp and easy to work with right out of the box, and it casts like a rocket ship on grease! If you like a “no-fuss”, day after day, user-friendly, change once-a-year line, give Power Pro (www.powerpro.com) a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
