Last year I used 30lb fireline for chunkin and had great success. This year I switched to Power Pro and I like it better even though the fireline served me well. I still have the fireline setup on my backup (loaner) combo.

Here are my findings: PP v. Fire

30lb PP has diameter of 8lb mono, Fire is 12lb diameter. (cast better)
Power Pro is softer and spools better. (less looping over the top of the spool).
cost about the same.
