I couldn't stand PP on the conventional, for the reasons you mentioned.
But then again, if you're casting as hard as you can...that could be the issue as well!

Nope; had problems with PP on my VS250, but I have it on a 525Mag, and it's behaving great; I was tossing 3.5oz jigs into the wind sat. night and had no problems, and I canth throw much harder than that!

Well maybe I should have said it differently, like harder than normal
I never throw as hard as I can, I hate throwing plugs to China  |

Ditto what tagger says, except I like 14-17lb. Ironsilk on my 6500's and 30lb Fireline on my spinners.
