Lol didn't see that

Powerpro is so outdated . Vicious no fade braid is the best

I have to disagree. In the first placei wouldn't use anything under 50lb.the only time I've had backlash that bad is hooking something on a backcast.both mono and flouro would be done

They have the lews skip and pitch. They also have the custom lite shallow spool.And they have the bb1 for.crank baits and long casts.

Lews has already done that.

Lews bb1 by far

All lines backlash.flouro and mono get damaged from backlash. Braid does not. Braid casts further and backlash less.it is easier to remove a backlash from braid if you know how. Ultimately you control how many and how often you get them with your technique and what kind d of brakes you use.

I Agree 👍

Original powerpro is outdated. It's a noisy 4 strand with a coating that wears off.sufix 832 and Berkeley x9 are good. I personally have graduated to vicious no fade brand which is better than both of those.

No. Why ?

Use rod socks and reel covers

the only drag I have that makes noise is the bb1 with a clicker drag. The rest are silent. I'm surprised nobody said measure it with a scale

Yes larger spools help prevent line issues. Lots of guys use 2000 size but I don't get it. KVD always used larger sizes so that's enough for me.

I'd go with the 40 for ease of line management.

The regular braid and the no fade are 2 different lines.

I set mine on my Lew for just ca hair of side play.

Why don't you just try a knob from a similar reel ? Or Delaware Valley Tackle.

Get a Lews shallow spool custom lite on a soft tip mh rod .

You should try the slp platform. It's smaller.

Lews Tournament Pro

Ive been using braid since the 90s.i will never use under 50 lb on a bait caster.Also if your going to replace it go with Vicious No Fade Braid in 50 lb.the shallower your spool the less it can dig.i use Lews baitcasters and don't get dig with this line in that lb.test.all the other tips u got help also. Buy a wood dowel 1 inch by 12 and wrap around dowel instead of risking damage to your equipment.

I agree

I hate braid noise. I use nothing but braid. I suggest Vicious No Fade Braid 8 strand. Sufix 832 and131 are also quieter than most.

If u don't want it I'll take it

That's not a good or bad price for that reel.
