spencer12 Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Has anyone used the PowerPro Slick 8 braid? I like the brown braid they have as it matches the water color a little better around my areas as opposed to the dark green. I fish a lot of grassy lakes and usually when it's time to get out the punching gear and frog rods the grass is a greenish brown color. I feel like this color would blend a little better. I've heard good and bad, however I do not hear a lot about it or see anyone using it so it may not be the best. Just curious if anyone has any info. Quote
frosty Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I have not used anything except the plain Jane power pro, but I've had zero issues with it except maybe a little color fade, but I normally use a leader so I'm not worried about that. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted July 5, 2017 Super User Posted July 5, 2017 I use it. I think it works just fine. I don't care much about the color though. I don't believe that bass have the ability to reason to make the connection that line poses any danger. 1 Quote
Attila Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It's the only braid I use, and I use the timber brown colour exclusively. I use 30lbs for walking topwater baits, 20lbs with a fluorocarbon leader for jerkbaits, and straight 65lbs for hollow body frogging and pitching/flipping. The water I fish is pretty clear unless I'm fishing slop but with that said even that has quite a bit of clarity to it. I find that it does cast more easily than regular braid and it has resulted in me gaining casting distance with all the lures that I throw. Well worth the price. Quote

Tried Power Pro Slick 8 two years ago and didn't like it. Went back to Power Pro. Quote
Super User NHBull Posted July 5, 2017 Super User Posted July 5, 2017 It is fine!, but given your water color your not limited as all greens would also work fine Quote
