| I prefer the power pro, I get less wind knots and I can put on a much smaller diameter line and cast a mile.

| well im suprised at how many people like stren but hey everyone has their own opinions  ... powerpro is an amazing line for sure but suffix has soooo much better handling and almost 0 wind knots on spinning... however i do feel that powerpro is a little more abrasion resistant and stronger but i just cannot deal with the wind knots that i get nearly EVERY time i fish with lures with it... if you are a bait fisherman i would go for powerpro but those who prefer to throw lures like myself get suffix braid for sure try it once and you wont go back |

| | I definitly prefer power pro. I caught a 150+ pound shark off of 15 pound test. It is also finese enough for bass. |

When I use 15# and up I don't seem to get wind knots near as much, this seems to be the case with all braids for me....anything from spider, suffix, to power pro it dosen't seem to mater. I would have to say its a combination of line diamiter and how often you repack your spool. I find myself repacking my spool more often when using lighter lures then I do when casting heavier lures.

| | i reason for the briaded lines getting wind knots its it is rougher and less round than mono or dyeena or what fireline, microfuse and ultracast it catches on its self and wraps around when this happens with slicker lines the line slides over its self and doesnt knot with braided lines the lines wraps around itself and causes it to knot its part of having braid that is less than 6 pound mono diam. ive used power pro, stren braid, spider wire, and suffix braid and ive found that stren and suffix do the best in smaller diam. they still get some knots but not as bad as the others i now use micro fuse in 10 pound test for light tackle and use power pro for heavy tackle 50 lb and up i havent had problems with pp 20 lb and up |

| Power Pro, never use anythigng else sine I switched from mono, I get zero wind knots. The trick is to close your bail manually. I love it as I can fish heavy line and keep the small diameter, without it I would have lost countless snook in the lights and as it says in the commercial you can pull a fish back around a pilling with this stuff! I use 10 and 15lb now tho and get wrapped alot which makes it more fun, I got tired of having no fight what so ever.

| [size=3]Yes, Suffix nick! Suffix is the best fishing line I have ever laid hands on. PowerPro is rough and hard compared to suffix. Suffix is also more abrasion resistant and take my word for it all I do is fish structure for Snook.[/size]
I buy 300 yard spools to fill my Daiwa's. You can't just put 150 in a Daiwa because they have a wide spool. $40 usually. |

| | i have to say if you are going for big fish power pro is way better but if you want a better line stren is way better. power pro is way stronger though and will never wear. after a while of fishing or sun you can break 15 lb stren braid with two fingers. You can cast stren a mile though and is cheaper |
