Surprised you guys don't like the PP. I've had great success with it. I also fish a sissy drag too, perhaps that accounts for the lack of breakoffs?
I put sufix on one of my spinners and it got AFU...go figure. |

I have PP on all my spinning reels and love it, won't use anything else. I have Fireline on my conventionals because it is waaaaaaaaayyyy easier to pick out knots when the inevitable backlash occurs. |

Mike I used power pro for a bit with a cabo i was using then when I loaded it on my VS i was having issues with it. Switched to Suffix no more issues. It might be pure preference and just in my head though. |

Same here. They're both very similar. |

How full is your spool? If you have had break offs, especially at this point in the season, you may be having issues related to how the line is coming off a less than full spool. Could be catching on the spool's skirt.

Thank you everyone for the information.
I've noticed that when using a lure where there is a constant retrieve, it doesn't happen nearly as often. It's happening much more so after having reeled in something like a surface popper. From reading above, this must mean that the line is not getting evenly spooled after the retrieve, right??
I also checked my first guide and it's less than the diameter of the spool on this particular pole.
I noticed that the PP is very limp. Is there another braid that I should try out as it seems that the suggestion is that if the line was stiffer, this wouldn't happen as often?
Thanks again to all.
Bruce.
