I agree I will buy the 50 because the 30 is too thin and is a complete mess if I get a nest.

I've been having backlash and breakoff issues, too, with the 30, Lurch, and it wasn't a bulk spool.
I have a little Shimano Corsair...think the model's in the 400s (I flake on details) -- would going to a higher test be advisable?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I normally fish 65. Tried 50 this year and found it to "dig" a little too much. The 65 does'nt dig at all, I can only imagine the 30 would be worse.Move up

Lurch,
I think PP is too soft for casting conventionals.
You're better off using a firmer coated line like Spiderwire Stealth (which is essentially reformulated Berkley Whiplash) if you want to cast with a revolving spool reel.
PP in the heavier line tests (above 30 lb) is good on conventionals for BOAT applications where you're not casting.
The lighter stuff is good on spinners.
In any case, if you're stuck with the power pro, pull the line off, take that line, dunk it in a bucket of water, and then WET-PACK the line back onto your spool.
