Bliz- i would stay away from a braid as small as 25# in the surf. the diameter causes nothing but problems. i would suggest minimum 50#, and i only use 65# stealth. also, i will NEVER again use power pro. way to many break offs, both personally and by another guy i fish with. between it mysteriously breaking on casts, to just simply falling apart on small fish, i am all done with it! i use stealth exclusively, now, on reels such as VS250, VS150, abu 7500c3, abu 6500 mag, and several other reels. that stuff is simply awesome!
