Power Pro Super 8 Slick?

[Hi Salenity]

Does anyone use Power Pro Super 8 Slick? Does this line float or sink ?

Another dumb question does the depth runner sink?

I was going to buy some over the Labor Day sale but couldn't find the specs. Anyone know the diameter of the 40 & 50lb?

According to the site of a well-known retailer, the diameters of the 40 and 50#, respectively, are .013 and .014".

Thanks Marty. After seeing your post I went to TW to order some and saw they had the specs up now. I looked everywhere including there on Sunday for the specs but couldn't find them. I'm not too fond of the brown but Im going to give the 40lb a shot on my Curado 50E for light plastics. Maybe this one wont sing to me aftter i cross there eyes!

Haven't been using it long enough to give a real review or anything, but so far I'm liking it. They weren't kidding when they named it slick. It has a very slick feel to it. 40# is measuring out at .0125" 9 out 10 times. This PowerPro line doesn't have the extremely low diameter to strength ratio the old stuff does...right now it doesn't. What I mean by that is, I think as the coating wears off the diameter will get a little smaller, like the original PP. It's smooth and quiet, but I haven't got a good solid chunk hooked up way out there yet. The only fish I've caught on it have been right at the boat so I didn't get to crank on it hard. It does cast very well and I'm sure it will get much better as it breaks in. I'll give a more detailed opinion later after I've had time to really form one. So far, so good though.

I ended up going with 832 on the 2 new reels I bought but I have 2 spinning reels that need line and I'm thinking about trying this stuff out.

Opinions?

Should I try 15# or 20#

I'd go with 20# for spinning
