I agree with that.......I use 10 lb high vis yellow mono for everything.

I use braid for pulling and P-Line Hi Viz for everything else. Have used the new Lake Fork orange on my jig pole at Wolf, and I like it also. Don't think it's actually on the market yet. Meatgetter got a field test spool from them.

Oh Yeah, Wannabe IS ugly!!!

I've never had much use for it in the crappie world

I've used several, but power-pro seems to be the sweet spot. Currently, I have 2 jig poles for windy, rough or cold water conditions. No substitute for zero stretch. I've pulled cranks with another brand as well but had problems with wind knots and went back to mono.

Just wondering what y'all were doing.

The wind knots are the only negative for me.

Clear water, no way. Dingy to stained water, Power Pro 15 pound on my jig poles.
Plus WB is ugly.

I used the power pro 15 and 20#... I hate braid, but power pro seemed to be the most well mannered braid. I like the 10 lb hi vis for spider riggin and 15# hi vis mono for cranking, usually Vicious.

I use the same knot that I been using for 50 years and it holds fine with braid!
