Location: Alex or Alek? | Its that time of the year again. I've noticed the line i have on one of my reels(zilla braid) soaks up a ton of water and after a couple dozen casts it looks like i jumped in the lake. With the cold weather coming I am not looking forward to getting wet and would imagine that the line would also freeze up my eyelets faster.
Any ideas on what the best line is for fall fishing? |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | While I'm not a fan of Power Pro, it does seem to hold less water then the Cortland that I prefer. |

| I did use PowerPro on all my reels for a long time but I've recently been switching over to Suffix cause it holds less water. The guys I know using Sunline FX-2 say that it holds much less water than pretty much any brand out there, I think I'm trying that next myself. |

Location: Land of the Musky | I prefer PowerPro but also like Cortland. 100# for either IMO and you are good to go. For shedding water the most would be Spiderwire IMO but I don't like the line at all. |

| I am a big fan of Cortland master braid but it does hold a lot of water. When fishing in October and November I switch to Power Pro. |

Location: Contrarian Island | PowerPro super 8 slick in 80 lb doesn't hold much water at all... I used it in the summer on a tranx and hated it because it didn't absorb any water it would get too hot on the thumb.... I prefer line that holds a bit of water in the summer but this line might be great for the fall/ cold months |

Location: N.FIB | power pro slick,grand slams good also,I had that sunline on 1 of my toros last yr and it was great line to cast and didn`t get many backlashes it was super loud going through the line guides so I took it off this yr.I still have some left of the sunline,should be enough to spool a reel |

Location: Eagan, MN | The PP Super Slick is dry line and pretty manageable. I've not had any problems with it, other than the line does seem to fray a bit more than others where the line comes in contact with the rod guides. Probably just a cosmetic issue, but I cut off the frayed portion every now and again. Not a big deal. Also, the max lb. test available is 80lb., which is a little scary when throwing big rubber all day and night as we often do late in the fall. BrianF |

Location: Alex or Alek? | thanks for all the input. it seams like power pro is the go to for most of you. I'll be having to decide shortly, thinking its between that and the spiderwire. |
