I woudlnt suggest putting braid on unless you have the spooler to do it....it needs to be put on tight

One more reason to use a fusion! Never been an issue with FL

So when should I put on braided instead of mono? I can cast without rat nests  and I rarely get one. Does the braid come off the reel easyer?

When you birds nest Fireline it comes right out. Its unbelievable stuff. Never digs in. Been using it exclusively for over 15 or so years.

If you like braid, you will love Fireline! Its a fusion, not a braid. Never wraps your tip like braid can. NEVER!

Once Fireline un stiffens a bit from being new, It comes off like butter. Mono has memory and keeps that coil in it from being on the spool. 20 pound Fireline will straighten your 3/0 Octo hook on a snag. Stuff is fantastic. If more Powerpro users tried it I think they would switch.

 I tried some Fireline this year for the first time. First fish that I hooked on it was a 2.5 small mouth. Line broke half way between the fish and my rod tip for no reason. Took the line off right there on the boat and respooled. When I got home I tossed the spool and the other spool that I had bought, brand new, never opened. Will not trust, ever!

Ill never use fireline..junk..like wire! I watch a buddy use that crap steelheading with me..snapping main line all day long. no thanks

I don't use the spoiler, usually just have someone put a lot of tension on it or grab the line with my thumb and index really tight and reel slowly.

I've never snapped power pro unless I just got hung up really bad.

Thank the gods I have been lucky for 15 years or more! Whew!

Regarding the Fireline....never cared for it. I prefer PowerPro.

I use fireline and powerpro.  I personally don't see a real benefit to either.  They're both work good for their applications.  However, powerpro's new superslick 8, is a step above them both.  From now on, that's the only superline I will be spooling.

To a point. Its a fused line thats pressed together under pressure and heat. I have 1000's of hours using everything out there. Nothing compares. Most just jump on the Power Pro boat and call it good.

You cant tell its flat unless you look at it. Nothing compares. Dosent matter to me what ya fish with. Im not a Berkely rep. If more people tried it with an open mind, they may never go back.

Im open minded to good line, thats why I asked. I usually just fish Maxima because I love its strength, and I do use PP for my braid. How well does it tie to mono for joining lines/leaders?

No terminal tackle here for joinging leaders to mono or flouro.  Modified Albright knot.  I'll never tie a double uni or bloodknot again.

crap.  I just respooled everything with spider wire today.  The line that was on everything was about 10 year old Eagle brand.  I can't find that stuff anymore.  Do you think Wal Mart will take the like spools back?
