Which Power Pro line should I use for pulling cranks on planer boards?
Should I buy the 10/2 or 20/6?

I use the 20/6 for both flat-lining and downrigging with crankbaits. Not just for the strength but mostly because the leaders i use are in the 10-12lb strength. The 10/2 is on my spinning reel and is too small to tie on large leaders with. If you tied directly, it could work but i am weary of line that thin rubbing on rocks.

The guys I know that use it on Erie use 30/8 I believe. I know Den uses it. MAybe he will post or call him at the Sportsman's Outpost in Vermillion, OH 888 855 9032.

I use 30lb test/8 diam. power pro on all my trolling rods. I'm sure the 20/6 would be fine but the 8 diam is close to the 10lb test that precision trolling uses in their book for crank depths and i'm use to doing the mental calculations for the 2 pound difference.

Hi,
Cabelas sell a 20-5 Line that I used for Salmon last year and it was great.
30/8 for me on Erie, cranks, dipsys, whatever, with floro leaders.
http://www.powerpro.com/ is down, anyone know where else I can buy more powerpro online?

I'd go with the 30/8 myself. I find it stays in the releases better and ties and holds knots easier. When trolling, I don't think fish are really too "line shy". (If you're pulling spinners, I'd go with the 20/6.)
