Thanks to everyone for chiming in on this.
I'm definitely going to go with a heavier braid!
I'm not going to go with the Power Pro though... I heard from others on Saturday, that they had similar problems with the heavier # tests as well...
Finding the right braid can be an expensive lesson for many!...
I hope that others in the future will pull up this thread on the search engine so that they don't have to go through the same headaches!
I will consider the Spectron & other true braids in addition to trying out some of the different types of coated braids as well.
I think that many out there achieve various results with the line digging into their spools because of the way they are casting & retrieving lures... I would imagine that the weight of the lures used & the force used in casting has a great effect on the performance on most braids in relation to how various brands sit on the spool, but I do agree that the smaller diameter presents universal problems when using the Power Pro.
Glad to hear you're still making them plugs Mike!
You need to put a Lo-Jack chip into them so we can locate them when they're lost!
Wouldn't a GPS for lost lures be a beautiful thing?...
I think we should have a Power Pro burning party at the next SB event!...
