Default Fireline or Power Pro line

Have been using Power Pro for trolling for a few years and haven't noticed any guide wear problems. Thinking of going to Fireline or Power Pro for jigging. Has anyone had any problems with guides wearing out with these braided lines? Do you have a preference?
Thanks for the input.

Been using fireline going on four years now I think. Haven't checked but should on guide wear. Don't think I've got any problems or would have noticed I'm sure by now.

Default RE: Fireline or Power Pro line

The older superlines contained Kevlar which was very hard on guides. Today's superlines are made from the same plastic that milk jugs are. Polyethelene. Only the very cheapest of guides will show wear.

I use Fireline for nearly all my fishing under 15 pound test. For 15 and over I use Power Pro for all applications.
