Bought a couple of new heavy duty spinning reels that need to be spooled with 65lb braid for use in areas like Tequila, Floaters, etc.. Seen a lot of noise around Power Pro; seem to recall that there were better brands out there and that some folks had some negative things about their experiences with Power Pro. Also what about color? Does it make a difference ...especially Tuna. Green vs ?
Momoi Blue Diamond braid is awesome...I used power pro for a while but had WAY too many problems with it...Like line breaks, rotting, digging....I have lost multiple fish because my power pro line literally broke mid way down on at least half the breaking strength...That aint good. LIke I said earlier, Momoi diamond is freakin incredible and anything 80 or over is hollow core.
I have Daiwa boat braid on my Stella’s and like it. I bought an Avet with Power Pro on it a few years ago and have had no problems with it but for it kind of waxy. I have a Jerry Brown on one reel and like it a lot it’s very soft. As far a color my Daiwa is depth finder different color every 25' good for jigging otherwise I don’t think it matters much.
