I agree with Mr Sandman I too have spent a great deal of dough trying to find a line I like. I fish only conventional and have found that fireline has a tendancy to dig due to it not being round. The "old" whiplash was good line, but something has changed and the new replacement isn't as good. I find spectron too soft, has a tendancy to fluff on a cast. I stick with the power pro. Run a long mono leader and the abraision problem is gone. Also allows you too break off when giving your donation to the ditch lead god. I like 65 lb PP for jigging on a 525 or 7000 and 50 lb for plugging. I tried using lower test line, but found it real hard to handle - tough in high wind. Best feature of PP is you can feel every bump and hookup easier.

Just passing a fact along. When using PP or any braid it is wise to run a long mono leader to take up the stress when casting. It allows some stretch and saves the gear. Also helps with a hookset. If you try and cross the fishes eyes with braid on hookset you may tear the hook free.
