Yeah mate awesome stuff, nadders got me onto it

[neal82]

yeah mate great braid. i've got 300m of 30lb on my overhead and 150m of 30lb on one spool of one of my spin combos (20lb fins on the other spool) can't fault the stuff

[Joel Eadie]

they are the (self proclaimed) top braid in the US according to their advertising

[nadders]

cant fault the stuff mate, once worn in (its pretty birdnest-y when fresh but a few sessions fixes that)

very abrasion resistant, i use it in 10lb, 15lb, 20lb and 30lb on various setups

cheers

it's a decent middle of the road braid. if you want the best, you gotta pay for the 8 strand stuff which takes a massive jump in price.

just bought it, not sure if it's worth it tho.. was thinking about buying the rovex viros.. but seen this ad on shimano.. bought a 30lb one on ebay today.. seen reviews about it, heard its pretty good.. (self proclaimed to be 10 times harder than steel doesn't sound bad at all!)

i picked up 10lb, 300yds for $13.00aud from ebay. Just received it last nite and it looks the goods! cant wait to fish with it.

cheers,

I have it on both my spinning and BC reel and no problem so far with knots or strength. Like what Nadders said, it feels very rough when brand new and need a couple of "run-in" before smoothening out. It took about 3-4 trips before my Power Pro feels nice and smooth on the reels

Hi, I jest got my 5lb two days ago 300m $17 + $4 post it looks good going out this weekend to try it out

Thanks a lot everyone for the advice am also going to be getting some 30lb for my OH and some 20lb for my surf caster

The power pro is fused braid, isn't it?

[fishingfon]
