What type of line? Could be that is is holding the memory and coiling and hanging on the tip. If it is re spool with line made for a spinning reel. They usually have a low memory.
Power pro, zero memory, zero stretch, this is all I use. Power pro is hard to break off so it is well complemented with a lite wire hook.
Do you use Floro in conjunction? What test for sacs? Can I use on my mini spincasts? Found an informative site-PowerPro Braided LineQuote:

Actually I use it on spin cast for sacs. I want to say the one I use is 2lb diameter 10lb test. It may be a little larger. For bass it's a 8lb diameter 30lb test. Red fish 12lb diameter 50lb test. I use it on spin cast, open face, and low profile open face reels. I've never tried it on a Zebco 33 of something equivalent.
I fish power pro a good bit and never use a floro leaderQuote:

I use Spectra 50# braid on all my bass spinning rods (picture).....I just use Stren mono for sacs on my jig poles and my sac spinning reels but am considering trying small braid for that.....I have to continually cut my mono to remove weak spots to avoid breaking but never have any problems with my braid.....the braid on my bass reels will last 2 years easy....it only works on open face spinning.....will not work on bait-casting reels(digs in on the spool)......
ever notice when you are trying something new and you can't wait to get out there and try it out.....then you get your bubble busted.....

Sounds like its time for new line, I have 50# power pro on my Curado and its great. I did have Spiderwire Easy braid on my Browning superlight, however the rods had an issue with breakage, but the newest model is different and couldn't swap spools at basspro.:( The easy braid was fine, I could cast extremely light baits a long way, however it was tough when you had to break one off. The easy braid diameter is equivalent to either 2#, or 3# mono, but is 10# test.
use a slip cork hthQuote:

I missed so many fish Rerigging, I tossed the power - Pro in the bottom of the tackle Box. I might have to get the stuff out again and respool one of my spinning reels . it is Ultralite and only holds a small amount of line
I like PP on my casting rods, however, my brother and I had similar Browning superlight spinning combos, his rod was a few inches longer. I could out cast him using the spiderwire easy braid, it might be worth looking into, it comes in a 100yd spool and is a few bucks less then PP. Both brands are made in USAQuote:

You can get it at Academy or most bait stores. It comes in different colors from moss green to black to chartreuse. It will say something like 20 lb test, but will also have the equivalent diameter of monofilament on there. For instance, 20 lb test PowerPro will be closer to 6 lb mono. I use this saltwater fishing and just tie a 15" 20 lb flourocarbon leader so the fish can not see the braided line. Very good to do with a jigpole on sacaulait also.Quote:

As for mono and line twist, it helps to put tension on your line when spooling up with mono to get it ready to stretch a little. Have someone hold tension on it while you reel or I have a friend that spools up and gets the boat going slowly, lets out all his line and ties on a crankbait and reels it in to get that line stretching:dono Works for him. Also if on the water, and have a bucket, throw your spool of line into a bucket of water and start spooling up that way it keeps a little tension on the line and lubes the line also.
I like braided line cuz of the sensitivity on a jig pole and the strength to straiten hooks.
Anything castable, give me 10 lb trilene. Dont take me brim fishing with braid, a nightmare.
Rainy days braid sticks to my rod like glue.
Braid works good on spincast reels for about a half a day.
If your gonna cast a slip cork with braid...you better call Leroy (ESB)
My favorite braid is 6lb Berkley Fireline, Crystal White.
Suffered with the smoke color for 2 yrs before givin in.
Very, sensitive line.
Attachment 131208use the yellow on the salter pole and it is giving me fits will try power pro...use the line on right on spinning reels and it seems to cast my roadrunner well with no probs..but I like the salter as it is so no complicated and i can cover some ground which seems to be important sometimes...
Leroy???ESB??Quote:

ah!
I use some stuff called "Reel Magic". Spray all the line out of the reel and in a couple minutes your line will straighten out and stay that way for most of the day. Works on any line I've tried, but I've never used braid so I don't know about it. One bottle will last a couple of years if you go fishing 3 to 4 times a week.
Reel Magic is good stuff and will help mono a lot. Blakemore is who sells Reel Magic and if you buy it get the airosoil and not the pump spray like Bass Pro sells.
However if you go to braid you have to leave a good bit of mono on for backing! Next I also use Power Pro a lot, have both Spider Wire and Fireline Crystal, but last time I bought the new Power Pro 8 Super Slick and I love it! No more with the hearing it in the guides and is very smooth.
Thanks, I've been waiting for someone to chime in with a review on the new super slick...Quote:

Thats my problem...twisting line at the end of my salter jigging pole.no casting...just flippingQuote:
