It has 2 diameters.. thats odd by itself..a thin one and a wider one.. thats why the line is flat. Just like yellow and black 'caution tape'.
I dont understand why you in the States have a round one.
The retail store overhere ordered the 3000 yds spool 10 lb moss green at Shimano in the Netherlands, so i asume its genuine but its flat...

I see 2 diameters but one is in inches and the other is mm.

[Zandereye]

You mean overhere in The Netherlands , you see one in inches and one in mm?

[Ozark Bob]

That's what we see over here,in the USA. Are these the #s on your 10lb spool? .006 and .15

[Zandereye]

Im going to post a picture so you can see the label of the spool.
Its 10 lb 3000 yds moss green.
I'll post it later today.

Photo from bulkspool 10 lb 2740 mtr / 3000 yds
Photo 2 is a photo where i twisted the line so you can really see the twists in that line.
You clearly can see a thinner and a broader thicker part.

This is a screenshot directly from Power Pro.com
It shows, just like Ozark said, .006 and 0.15 diameters.
The label and numbers on the spool i got are something completely different

[Ozark Bob]

Counterfeit or defective. I would return it. Bob
Did you notice the spool has the wrong diameter also?

[Zandereye]

Hi Bob, yes i thought so, the Power Pro you have in the U.S. is actually round!
The diameters are totally different. You're right.
My guess is that Power Pro licensed a line manufacturer in Europe to make the line for them, but i dont understand why they dont make it the exact same as in the U.S. ?
I mailed Power Pro and asked them why the line in the U.S. is round and the line in Europe is flat.
If you look at Sufix, they have a U.S. market / assortment of lines and Europe has totally different kind of lines.
Performance Braid is unknown overhere, same goes for Sufix Elite & Siege, i ordered those lines at Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops.
Power Pro is different, cause they claim as if it's the same line, or there is only one Power Pro regular.
I am curious if i'll get an answer from them.
Thank you very much.

A fishing buddy of mine bought a spool of Power pro 8lb White 150yds ( flat like tape) a couple of months ago , same store as where i got it.
Totally different numbers than shown on the Power Pro.com site
