Heading out to Lake Erie in 3 weeks and want to have some reef runners with me.I'm looking Deep Little Rippers but can't seem to find the colors I'm looking for. can anyone out there point me towards a store that has good selection? Also I hear a lot about power pro line lately. I would like to hear some comments about it.Been using fireline on 2 trolling reels and getting ready to put on new line so thought maybe I would try the power pro.

Den has a bunch of very slightly flawed seconds, that will save you a buck or 2. Good luck.

All the above posts have given you great info on the reef runners. As far as Power Pro, I have switched all reels from fire line to Power Pro and I'm very happy with the results. It doesn't seem to fray as much, and I think that it casts better. I use the 10-2 and 20-6 for walleye fishing. And I use the 90 pound test for muskies. I have no complaints and will continue using it.

I have used power pro for two years, That is musky fishing and had very good luck with it! I use 80lb. for jerk baits and 65lb. for buck tails! The reef runners I have had very good luck from den! He has them all and some custom color! http://www.geocities.com/densoutpost/Dens-Outpost.html

Re Power Pro:
I used it for a week in Brazil in Dec. Peacock fishing and I will never use any other line (except mono when needed) It casts great, doesnt tangle, and is unbelievably strong. I also have a couple of spinning rods rigged with it in 10/2 and I'm convinced that what you loose in visability you make up in small diameter and castability.
