Power Pro 80 -Pounds - 1500 yd, Yellow

This changes everything
This line has a rounder profile than other braided fishing lines, causing less problems from spooling on spinning reels and running through lineguides. Due to its lack of stretch ( 98-99% stretchfree ) it is hypersensitive, with both bite detection and hookups being virtually instantaneous. Though some colours tend to bleed or rub off in use, that does not seem to have any effect on the line's quality, as this stuff does not seem to deteriorate from one season to another. Also, as this line has about 1/4 - 1/5 the diameter of an eqivalent poundage of monofilament, lesser weight lures can be used with an equal ( thinner diameter ) test to fish deeper water. A few caveats to remember:
Use a monofilament backing of equavilent diameter - 25 to 50 meters - with spinning reels ( I can not comment on conventionals as I do not really use any ) to protect the spool from the pressure of this line and the possible effects of corrosion from saltwater trapped in it;
Use swivels...
Works on Alaskan sized fish...
I have been using PowerPro on my ocean going boat for about 5 years now (I think?), and I will not use anything else. I have 30# PowerPro for my salmon trolling gear, and 80# for my halibut line. It works GREAT. I've caught up to 70# King Salmon on the ocean with the 30# line and never had an issue. I've caught a halibut that was guesstimated at over 300# with the 80# line! Granted, we never got that big halibut to the boat... BECAUSE THE HOOK BROKE before the line did. After 2.5 hours of fighting it, the hook straightened out and the fish got away. In 20 years of halibut fishing out of Homer Alaska, that was the biggest fish I have hooked, and it's only a guess but I'm saying 300+. I've caught a number over 100-200# and this one was far harder to reel up and fight with. But regardless of the size, the hook gave out before the line broke.

I love the fact that it is much thinner than normal line. With the tides in Cook Inlet Alaska, we have a tidal difference of up to 30...
Great Line
Power Pro is super thin and very strong. Great for light tackle fishing. I love the visibility of the Yellow.
