I like fireline 20 lb on the sand an 30lb on the rocks.Yea it gets fluffy but i still haVn't found anything that comes close abrasion wise.Cast's good enough for me.I have tried Power pro an tuff line an whiplash braids.Lost a few real good fish one the whiplash.Power pro is funny some times good sometimes mystery problems plus not as good abraision wise.have used it from 30lb to 80lb.The tuff line is new on a reel i used it some in the spring pencil poppin. 50lb doesn't cast as well IMO as the 30 fireline.

i like wiplash, its smooth, casts well, i dont think it is as abbrasion resistant as others, but over all its good things outweigh its one not really bad thing. i think ive been fishing 50 and its very nice.
i like how its white too.

i started using the power pro 30lb a month ago...mixed feelings about it...sometimes those twists and loops have driven me insane, the abrasions have cost me both plugs and fish, and it is expensive...yet, the fact that i can cast a mile keeps me using it...

For jigging, 50# Power Pro on a Newell P-220F. Go together like PB & J.
Spin jigging, I like 30# Fireline on a Penn 706.
For plugging, I'm more and more moving back to mono. 20# Big Game for spinning, 25# for conventionals in the Canal.
Gotta find me some of that Ande Backcountry before it disappears, tho  |

I stated offf using 30 lb pp , some 'nests' at first [my fault] respooled in shop tight and worked fine.
had a break off so replaced with 30lb fireline... casts better / smoother and no knot problems [maybe just 20/20 from pp]
the 3o lb fl got caught under my spool during a blitz and broke off SO ,now trying 20lb fireline [shop didnt have 30 fl], it casts a mile with a habs 2 oz popper 2oz hopkins [had a guy say WOW next to me one day casting as far as i could looking for action, he asked how much weight was on the lure ! ]  |

I use mono.Depends on which reel I'm using but I like Big Game,Yo-Zuri Hybrid.
I'm in the test phase with Ande Backcountry but it seems like good line so far.

Oh you think whiplash is gone?
I have heard from numerous sources that Whiplash is now Spider stealth. I use the 30 and like it best out of all the braids I've tried.
