BaitMonkey1984 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 PP is good. PP slick 8 is fantastic. I get a few years out of most reels, just cut off the last 30 yards a season or so. Never had any problems. Keep us posted with updates, if you had guide issue or not. Could just be a bad lot of line Quote
Super User Angry John Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 I use Stren Sonic Braid. It's fairly quiet, stands up to abrasion more than most, and retains it's color fairly well. We've been useing it for the last 5 or so years without a complaint. Brian.I to like the stren sonic braid. I found it super cheap on the auction site and gave a few spools a go. I have been using the same line for three years. The suffix performance braid is my other first choice. I like and use them after using 832/ppss8/pp and I lile them better. I am curious about the 8 carrier tuff line and may try that some day. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 Never had a problem with PP. Most of my reels are spooled with PP regular. I have bought 832 to try out though. Just waiting for the season to start to fish it! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 Have I ever had a lure go flying, sure I have but it's never been the fault of the brand, something caused that line to have weak spot. I have tried many brands both 4 and 8 carrier, I don't find noise to be bothersome or even that noticeable. The only problem I ever have with braid is tangles or wind knots, does not happen very often with heavier lures. A few months ago I spooled up with 10# US Braid, very cheap, I like it as well as anything I have ever used. I use this spinning outfit nearly everyday using inline spinners, have yet to have a wind knot, I'm impressed. Same case scenario with other lines, windknots left and right. So impressed I spooled up 2 of barracuda rigs with 20# braid, this will be my line of choice until proven otherwise. 1 Quote
LunkerFisher Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'm fairly green, but I've been using PP and sufix 832 without any problems. I find 20# 832 better for spinning gear than 20# PP. I also have some Sufix performance braid to try this year. Quote

PAGreg Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Seguar Smackdown. I have it on 80% of my reels. One reel has Power Pro super slick just because it was available locally and I needed line. I definitely like the smackdown better. Quote
0119 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Is there a braid that has not had a color dye added? Just the natural color of the fiber? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 Is there a braid that has not had a color dye added? Just the natural color of the fiber? Seems like Spiderwire Ultracast Invisi-Braid & Sufix 832 Braid Ghost are at least two I've seen that appear to be Dye free. I have Not fished either however. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 PP #15lb. for Spinning (best compromise between too light #10lb. and too heavy #20lb.) PP #30lb. for Bait Casting (light cover ; open water ; top water) PP #40lb. for Bait Casting (moderate cover ; where abrasion might be a factor) Using all above in Hi - Viz Yellow + FC or Mono leader .

A KGB Operative Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I got slick 8 powerpro in blue. Why? Because I felt like hell yeah blue line and it's super smooth. I have zero compliants with powerpro. I just switch my line every year because it sits in the garage during the winter. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Suffix 832 Gohst, I believe A-Jay is right,,, it appears to me to be dye free 1 Quote
powerduster Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 After using suffix 832 in 10, 20, and 30 pound, I can never go back to power pro. It has been about two years now, and have no regrets. Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 use yellow 832 on everything but giving the trilene tracer braid a shot on a couple of rods this season. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Is there a braid that has not had a color dye added? Just the natural color of the fiber? Along with the above mentioned two lines, regular PP comes in a white color as well. Been fishing it on a couple spinning reels and it's great. To me it seems to be ever so slightly softer or more limp than the green PP. Could just be my imagination though. Quote
