Well if ur working dive and rise or jerk baits you can see the slack in your line a little easier and guesstimate where what the bait is doing at the moment
Yeah. That may help. I was thinking it would be good for throwing Bull Dawgs and other big plastics deep. Maybe the multi-colored metered braid that's used for trolling and vertical jigging would work. PowerPro makes Depth-Hunter that goes up to at least 100lbs. There are a few other brands on the market. |

| ok well, I have used and like power pro extremely well, I also have ran masterbraid with great results. I spooled one up with 832 suffix last year and loved it, haven't had a chance to use it enough to see how long it stays that way though. If your line is digging in, either your line isn't tight enough on the spool, been there, or you need to quit putting so much mono behind it.......I learned my lesson with mono backers my first year, done away with that, started spooling all the way with braid.......I used cortland spectron one time and will NEVER use that crap again, questionable even on a catfish rod.....but the masterbraid held up fine , so my vote has to stay with power pro and suffix 832, all I have ran on my bass rods since the first time I used it is sufix siege mono, never had it fail me in the last 6 years, never tried the hi seas but have heard great things |

| I used to use Tuf-Line salt n pepper for years, but when I couldn't find it anymore I tried 3 others and decided on 2400 yard spools of Stren #65 and #100. Now, if it's got a baitcaster on it, it's filled with Stren Superbraid. From walleye casting and trolling to almost every bass application.....except jigs, then it's still Sten Clear Blue. |

Been using Cortland Spectra/Masterbraid for at least 10 years and really it like more than anything else.
But.....Anyone using Vicious? It is significantly cheaper in 300 yard spools and in bulk.. Just saying--if it is close--I would give it a try to save some cash.
What say you about Vicious?
Isn't that the line that Jim Saric sells on the Musky Hunter TV Show? |

Location: Minnesota | 80 lb. Tuf-Line has been the most dependable line for me. The only problem with it is it carries so much water. Summer time it isn't a big deal, but in the fall it makes for wet cold hands pretty quick. I didn't like power pro or earlier versions of Cortland. I am probably going to try some bronzeback this year along with another line, maybe 832 after reading some of these posts. If there is another line out there that is as dependable as Tuf-line without the water holding characteristics, I will use it. |

I switched from PowerPro to Vicious last year on the recommendation of a friend - and I hated it.
It spooled really well, and did not bleed one bit, but it picked up a LOT of water. After a few hours of casting, it was like getting a shower during every retrieve. Slightly irritating to get sprayed in the warmth of summer, but downright miserable on cold days in the fall.
I'm stripping it off the two reels I put it on and will try Masterbraid and/or the New PowerPro this year. |

| Vicious or Hi seas? Cant make up my mind. Have not heard that much bad about either line, but i havent heard much at all about either. Wondering what your guys opinion is? Had 832 last season and disliked it a lot. The color bled all over and turned my clothes and boat green. The line seemed to fray pretty bad to, had to retie 1 to 2 times a day. |

| tuf-line XP color doesn't bleed and comes in 50,65,80,100lb test. Mark |

| irratating to say the least. As i mentioned, it looked like someone spray painted my boat. it was on my shirt, my hands, my carpet.. Never again on the 832. I couldn't stand it. Just wait til it digs in once and you have to spend time getting out the backlash. |

Location: lansing, il | Ive had no issues at all with the Hi Seas Grand Slam freying or bleeding at all. Also its not stiff like some other brands when you first start using it so there is no reason to go thru a "break in period". |

| The line bleeding thing happens with a lot of lines. 832 is now being made in white as well that would be a great choice. No one mentioned suffix performance braid which is crazy strong and round. I also love cortland masterbraid bronzeback, it is kind of flat but once again an unbelievably strong line that also like to hold some water. Over the last two years I have been drifting more towards the performance braid but will also continue to run cortland. |
