Hogsticker Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Anyone using these. Either the 4 or 8 strand. I've been thoroughly impressed with Seaguar Smackdown but like trying new braids, plus I wouldn't mind saving 10 bucks a spool. I know some folks are convinced Power Pro is the finest braid ever made, but I'm not in that camp. I found 832 a little sticky and didn't care the fraying I encountered with super slick. I'll also order a spool of new Daiwa J braid to test, but my local store carries pretty all P Line. So if you're using it let's here about it. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted July 28, 2015 Super User Posted July 28, 2015 I've got one of my Chronarch's rigged up with the 8 carrier 40#. It's worked great for me. I've also been very impressed with the color retention too. Quote
Hogsticker Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Just spooled up with some 30. 1st impressions are I find it quite similar to Sufix Performance Braid, only a tighter 8 strand with a slick coating. I tightened the drag and gave it some yanks. It doesn't seem to wanna dig. Definitely stiffer than 832 or Smackdown, not as supple and limp out of the box. I hope it gets better in that regard with some usage. Little bigger diameter than the 30 lb Smackdown I've been running, but I've encountered a few break offs at the knot with 30 lb Smackdown. What I really like about this P Line is it doesn't fray at all when I cut it with my boomerang snips. Smackdown frays just a little, where as Super Slick frayed a ton. I will be ordering a spool of J Braid soon. If I don't like either better than Smackdown I'll just step that up to 40 lb. Just sucks it's 10 dollars more a spool. Just in case anyone is interested/wondering - Quote
