Default Most Sensitive line

I see a lot of people using power pro. Is it more sensitive than trilene XL? What do you feel transmit the best?

Power Pro is a "braided" line, Trilene XL is an extruded multi polymer line! Braided lines have little to no stretch <3%, multi polymer/mono lines can have as much as 30% stretch! The "braids" will defiantly be more sensitive than the multi polymer or mono lines and will transmit lure action, blade action etc way better than the multi polymer/mono lines!

I never really got into braided lines much, old spider wire on my jigging rods back in the 90's but I quit cause I didn't like it much. I do however use a braided line but only on trolling plugs in rod holders.
I may try this power pro stuff

All I have used for the past 8 years are superlines like Fireline and Bionic. Extremely sensitive vs mono. No comparison.

Thumbs up lines

Suffix 832 is my go to line, I use it on all my reels, when it came out I switched from power pro. There are no lines that transmit the bite better than a braid on a 1/16th to 1/4oz one peice jigging rod 6' long you can feel if a gnat lands on it. If you feel the fish are line shy just tie on a short floro leader. Not only is super braid twice as strong it last twice as long. I reline reels every two yrs.

Yes, braid has no stretch and is most sensitive. When fishing in clear water I tie on a leader. I find the lowest stretch and strongest leader line is Yozuri Hybrid, tied with uni-uni knot. That combination is on 80% of my rods and hasn't failed me yet. I can feel the smallest bites, set the hook immediately with no lag time for stretch...

IMO a flourocarbon is much more sensitive than braid. Flouro will transmit on slack line braid doesn't.

Definitely, both flouro and braid are more sensitive than mono. Between the two, is a toss up for me. Flouro gives that extra invisibility with minimal stretch, and braid is more visible and no stretch.

Pairing them with the right rod action for the application for me is what would make the difference.

I run braid on M-ML action rods while I run flouro on M-MH action rods. Add a flouro leader on braid and get the benefits of both.
