I've used Fireline, Powerpro and Whiplash. I don't care for the Fireline. Its not as abrasion resistant. It is spun not braided and after it gets broke on can be a real mess in a tangle. It's strength to thickness ratio is not as great. Whiplash is good but its braid is a hollow core like cheap polypro water ski rope. When clinching down certain knots it had a tendency to open up and bunch ahead of the knot when I slid the wraps down. PowerPro is a tighter, harder weave that knots better and won't "pick" on things like other peoples hooks in a tangle or your teaser hook.

So far its my favorite although I plan on trying Spectron on a conventional this year.
