Power Pro Super Slick Review

You do not choose braid for pound test. You choose braid for abrasion resistance. Choose the thickest stuff you can that will still cast acceptably.

The braids certainly do vary in abrasion resistance by brand.

Mike, I totally disagree. I had nightmares on the Block 3 or 4 years ago with braid. I resolved never to go out to "Rock heaven" again with braid. I have been using mono out there for the last 2 years without a break off. Same in the Bay as I fish very rocky points. Now that's not to say that I wouldn't have lost fish with mono. I am saying that in my opinion mono has it allover braid for abrasion resistance especially certain mono. Back when I fished with "he who cannot be mentioned" we fished nothing but Ande Back Country and never had break offs.

After hearing him and Steve M. say this in a seminar once, I have stuck with mono. I was tempted to use PP once and had all kinds of issues with the 30lb version, so went back to mono and never looked back! I've had some good fish take me right into the rocks and sure it's gets nicked up, but rarely breaks....
