Fireline or Power Pro for planer boards?

[Walter]

I have been using 10/4 Fireline on my planer board rods the past few years with good results. Has anybody tried Power Pro for trolling planer boards?

I started using power pro this year for everything from boards to dipseys to jets. I use the 30/8 and i love it. For the in-lines i use the snapper release and it releases off the big boards pretty easy too. Just my .02.......Fish on.......Instigator#735

Did I mention that I think you should use power Pro?

I have to agree with Instigator and Sunshine on this one. This stuff is the best line I have ever used bar none! Not the cheapest, but not far off from other super lines either. It's great to see a smaller company competing against the big boys in the line market. You have to make a pretty good line to even get put on the shelves next to the Berkleys and Strens!

hi,
like Instigator, I use power pro on all my dipsey and planer board rods. 30/8 on everything. great stuff!

Power Pro all the way here. Did several of my own little test this past year between whiplash, fire line and power pro. Either pulling in-line boards or the horses. Power pro won every one of em hands down. Hutch

There is a 20/6 powerpro (I think) that will outlast the 10/4 Fireline about 6 times over. Good stuff.

was wondering how power pro holds up to salmon, been wanting to find a different line for salmon and dipseys. thanks.

Hemmertime,

I think the above seven posts should answer you question. I have used it for the past two years and kind find downside to the stuff. Try a spool and you too should be converted.

Walter,

I have been using the 14/6 Fireline for all my Walleye trolling - cranks, harnesses, in-lines, big boards, etc. Has been great, really no complaints. However, when I get new line, I am getting the power pro for two main reasons. One is that I think it is more durable, it does not frey as much. Secondly, even though the fireline has great feel similar to a mono, power pro has a better feel. It is more limber but not so limp like spiderwire that tangles as easily.

I have been using the 30/8 powerpro on my dipsey applications and the 10/2 for the jigging applications for the last two years and really like it. I will probably switch over to the 20/6 on my daiwa's. It should match the 14/6 fireline depth using the trolling bible. Fireline is really good, powerpro is just better.
