Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 15, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 15, 2015 And what about abrasion on a thinner line? I'm not sure I see the benefits. I'm going to guess that the new line will be similar to the same diameter as the 40lb Sufix I have on one of my rods (in 50lb anyways). I have no problems with digging in unless I really put heat on it. I guess you could fit more line on your reel but not something I'm really looking for in bass fishing. It should offer a little less friction on the cast as well so may cast a bit further, again not a big issue for me. Quote
BadBassWV Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Still prefer Sufix 832 advanced, as usual. Powerpro is weak Oh no you Didn't !!!!!!!!! 1 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted February 15, 2015 Super User Posted February 15, 2015 If it's 25% thinner will 50# dig on a baitcaster? This was my thought exactly. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 15, 2015 Super User Posted February 15, 2015 I can not think of one single time, in the 10-12 years or so I have been using powerpro, that ive had a fish breakoff. And I use the same spool for YEARS at a time. Fresh AND salt. To each their own I guess. I believe my brother-in-law can say the same thing. All he uses is 40# PP, the Original. Reason? Because he no longer loses any lures....so he tells me. Far as I know he isn't even familiar with the term "wind knot". I've had them, but apparently it was due to over-filling the spool (on spinning reels). 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 15, 2015 Super User Posted February 15, 2015 If it's 25% thinner will 50# dig on a baitcaster? Plenty on here state they use 10# and 20# braid on b/c reels with no digging in. Wish I could say the same. Received a new-to-me b/c reel with 30# 832. First thing that had to be done was make quite a few casts pulling out line after each cast to free up more that had dug into the spool. I have some TUF Line Supercast on one reel to try. However, it has a larger diameter due to its coating than other 20# lines. Plus I haven't used it enough yet to form an opinion on how it will work. Quote
