About a year ago, I bought some 30 lb Power pro to see what all the fuss was about.
I put it on my Curado. I tried it in the yard and it worked well....but fishing with it work be a better test.
Most of the time it cast as good or better than 12 # mono. But sometimes it would backlash but so does mono. Most of the time when you make a "bad" cast.....it will backlash....and it is your fault....not the line's fault.
But with the Power Pro.....it just seamed to backlash sometimes when mono would not backlash.
The short story......after the 3 rd fishing trip, I took the PP off and put mono Big Game 12# mono back on.
I have used braded line offshore......and it worked fine. But offshore, you are not casting long distances very much.
