Power Pro Spectra Fiber Braided Fishing Line

Very high strength fishing line. I don’t use anything but power pro. I also buy it for hand sewing and patching jeans

Always a great product. I have used it for years

This is the only line I use, strong, thin, cast great,

Power Pro didn't invent micro fiber line but they were the first to market it to the saltwater fishermen here in FL. These super lines truly have revolutionized inshore fishing. Mono still has it's place and advantages but I have completely switched over to braided line. I fish primarily for trout, redfish, snook and tarpon. Braided line has less stretch so I get better hook sets, it is much smaller in diameter than equivalent strength mono so I can get much more line on a spool. 400 yards of line seems absurd but I've had big tarpon and sharks peel off 200 yards before I could get the boat started to chase them down. Braided line also allows you to cast further. Here in FL the further you can get a bait or lure away from the boat the better your odds are of getting a fish to eat. Most braided lines, power pro in particular, will give you great abrasion resistance, making it less likely that a fish will cut you off on a branch or piling. Your line may get frayed and force you to retie, but that's a small price to pay for getting a fish to the boat. There are downsides to micro fiber lines. It's prone to wind knots (always close your bail manually and don't over fill your spool). It is really hard to get out tangles. You need to learn some very specific knots and you need to learn to tie them well. Power pro isn't the best braided line on the market but it is a good line. If you are looking for a general purpose line and you will be fishing some bait and maybe some lures power pro will suit your needs. If you fish only artificials and you are looking for a line to maximize performance there are better options. The other thing I love about power pro is it lasts forever. I used to respool with mono every 6 months because the line would lose its stretch, become brittle and build up too much memory on the spool. I have rods that have 5 year old power pro on them and the line is still perfect.

Great line, the only line I use in saltwater. Caught several sharks and suffered no abrasion related break offs. It allows you to stuff about twice the equivalent weight monofilament on a reel which can really save the day when you hook in to something huge- plenty of line for big runs and twice as strong. It won't degrade in sunlight like mono or get all curly from being on the spool. I have a spare spool for all my reels so at the end of the season I just put on the spare spool and reel it up- that way I have fresh line on the fish end. The best part is that in the long run, it's actually cheaper than mono if you fish a lot. I was spooling my reels every 3 or 4 trips, usually due to "spool set" or other factors. I have Power Pro on a reel that been on there for 5 years! No problems at all, and still has 100% of listed strength. Try it some time- get a come-along, fish scale and test out you lines and knots. You will be surprised.

Does the job it's intended for and would purchase again.

I've used this product going on 20 years now. I was originally a huge SpiderWire fan, but they have priced the product out of reasonable range, so this is what I buy now. Tough stuff, but if you get a lure hung, don't try to pull it out with your bare hands, like all braded line in this class, it will cut a slit in the folds of your hand if you're not careful!

Used on my Lake Erie perch rod, absolutely outstanding sensitivity for those light bite. Three of my fishing buddies have bought it since I did.
