power pro issues

[Plug face]

Power Pro is great line but must be handled with care. The problem is slack, this puts loose loops on your reel and then the tighter ones get buried. Assuming the line was put on tightly you should stop it when casting just before the lure hits the water. The line will straighten and you should turn the reel a few times running the line thru your fingers ensuring that it is tight.
Some anglers always seem to be having line problems even with their mono, they should probably not try braid.

I too had pp nightmares ,, cut off 2 spools of it because of line buried underneath , I'm getting along very well with fireline these days . My favirote plug to work is a spook . The jerky, slack,walk the dog action makes a mess of the spool . Keeping this in mind every so many cast I make a cast just to clean up my spool and don't let it get too bad . Or I might switch to a needle, wich I retrieve straight in , very slow .. This will also keep line on the spool from getting out of hand ,, This is all spinning gear .. still afraid of braid on conventional . Any tips on that appreciated..

Just remember, you need a large line roller on your reel when using braid, also relling in with tension helps so light lures and stuff like needles will cause trouble as the line goes on too loose. I think if you have a shimano aitrunner, that those line rollers are not good for braid, fireline would be a better choice. Also if you fish the canal, use very heavy gear, don't go undergunned.
