“I have been buying power pro. It is smoother and casts better than some of the other braids”
“Power Pro is okay if you don't much about line”
“Powerpro braided line. I never ever had diawa j braid snap on me. Powerpro seems to be every spool.”
“I agree, Power Pro V2 is definitely the best for the smoothness and less digging”
“I found that when I switched to braid I was getting less attention from fish than when I use a braid-flouro/mono knot as well as a swivel and a second leader.”
“Not a fan of po”
“Where Power Pro is overrated: spinning reels with light braid. The 10 and 15-pound Power Pro on a finesse setup will give you wind knots and line memory that an 8-carrier line just does not produce. Skip it for that job.”
“Combined it with powerpro braided line. Smoothest casting I've ever felt.”
“Powerpro is a very stiff line and has a significantly wider diameter than Sufix 832 . Powerpro is not necessarily a bad braid, and some like it, however many have had problems with Powerpro snapping randomly on the cast.”
“ITS TRASH they changed something you get a bit set the hook and nothing no pop no snap it just gone absolutely trash”
“Power pro is another option but not the best for casting.”
“excellent for trout in the stocker lakes”
“I am using power pro.. It's very nice”
“I tried PowerPro 65lb and it was pure garbage on my reel. It’s cable wire? Very stiff”
“Works awesome!”
“I don't like the waxy coating that gets all over and in the rod and reel”
“I use PowerPro Braided line (30lb) in bright yellow, tied to a 17lb Berkley Trilene leader. The mono is used for a bit of stretch and so the line isn't as visible, but the braid makes it so I can feel EVERYTHING”
“powerpro is overrated in my book. way too thick for its line rating”
“I have had random break-offs with Power Pro in the past, though.”
“you might consider trying powerpro braided line. the packaging features something called ez spool, that i've never had a problem with.”
“I personally like using PowerPro braided line. It's been reliable for me, casts smoothly, and has good abrasion resistance.”
“I run 30lb powerpro braided line on all my baitcasters for bass. Some people use heavier line for top water in case they have to pull in a Lilly pad or something but I like the casting distance and capacity of the lighter line. 30lb is still plenty.”
“It’s great for the price and it cast very well. Not to mention it hold knots well and it’s super strong!”
“Top 5 braids in my experience is, berkley x9, j braid grand, power pro, varivas and sufix 832.”
