lostproperty Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Spooling up my new Salina 3 10000 and was originally going to go with the Powerpro Superslick but the green they make it in is a light green and more suited to freshwater, so I was thinking about going with the Marine Blue instead. I have also had a quick look at the Fins Original PRT braid as it comes in dark green which I quite like, have been using Powerpro in Moss Green in 30lb on my other reel but I want something a bit smoother for this setup, the 6lb Fins I have on my Sienna is great and no knotting great casting, but I have heard some people complain about the PRT getting wind knots ect. Mainly going to be used for live baiting, some stickbait and plastics casting (on a 7ft rod) and some jigging on a shorter rod, do you think I should go with either options or just high vis yellow in the super slick? I can get them all online for good prices and they are all about the same, the Fins is cheaper locally but I don't mind waiting for stuff to come from the US either so not a drama.

lostproperty Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 How does the smoothness of the line compare to regular powerpro? I've found the 30lb I have to be very coarse, it looks good value and I can def fit 500yards on my spool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I use Powerpro Super Slick as backing on my fly reels. It's a lot smoother than regular Power Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostproperty Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks for your help guys I ended up buying 300yards of powerpro super slick 50LB in yellow, $33 delivered ! Pretty happy (don't know how tackle shops can justify selling the same stuff for $80 a pop? - no offence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydangler Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Good work mate. I prefer the hi vis stuff tie on a shock leader and nothings going to see it but lets u see where it is easier. When Adam gets back we will have to see if we cant stretch it out.

lostproperty Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah im itching to head back out again, I might see if I can get another spool for my reel and spool it up with some 80lb depth hunter as well just as another option. We'll have to see how dusted I get on this line first haha hopefully I can stop a few big hoodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
