I have had good luck with PP. I use it on almost everything. Hollow core on the big game and regular red and green on the spinners, surf and boat. None of the other braids cast as well for me. They are too stiff or wire like. I tried that flat samari line and didn't like it. I didn't have a lot of problems with it but for me it didn't feel right. Never used the colored depth line. I picked up a couple line counter conventional reels from diawa and loaded them with PP braid for trolling for bones and albies this fall. Now when someone ask's...how far out do I let it?...I can tell them 183.2'.

I even tried the hollow core 65# PP on a accurate boss500 . I spliced a mono leader into it about 100' or so. I love this!. It is on a terez. It can catch damn near anything, and feels great. From a 4# sea bass to 200# tuna and still feel great. Without a doubt the most versatile rod/reel/line combo I have. Really light, really comfortable and plenty of stopping power.
