I use a St. Croix 10ft Premier 3/4 - 4oz with a 400TE. Up to 3.25oz it casts like a rifle, at the high end of it's range I find it a little soft for large wind resistant plugs. You can really drive it but it doesn't seem to make as much difference in distance as slightly liter lures. I'd stay away from the PP. If you get a backlash you'll say goodby to whatever you were throwing. $$$$ Perhaps because it's so much thinner the PP seems to knot up a lot more than say silver thread. I love the TE, it's much easier to tune for the conditions than my 400S, although I don't know that it casts any farther.
