PowerPro or Mono

[Parker650]

I'm having a tough time lately...I"m using 40# PowerPro and loving it, only it isn't loving the rocks very much. At the light on the hill I lost 3 atoms poppers because of fish making a bee-line behind a rock after hooking them. I'm using 50# Ande when the blues aren't in thick, switch to wire leader when they are.

Any advice? I'm not sure if I should switch out or not.

Thanks

Around rocks go with mono...........

I use braid on the sand and mono near the rocks for that reason.

Around rocks, which is pretty much the norm for me, I have no problem with 50# Power Pro and an 8-10' 50# Mono leader tied on with an albrite knot.

stay with mono around rocks, braid is at its best fishing the sand. If you want your best shot at landing a big fish in a junkyard of boulders...dont rely on braid..sooner or later you will have problems with it in the rocks

Thumbs way down for braid and rocks. I've lost way too much. Trying mono now -- just respooled.
