I have NEVER thought that a crappie is line shy. I can't think of how many times a crappie would have to be caught and released to realize that a small line attached to a jig with, who knows what color of body, not to hit it. Of course I don't fish gin clear water. I have been using the Power Pro line that is 10lb strenght,2lb size for 3 years. To me it is cheaper to use. I use to respool before every tourney. Use that line for prefishing and respool for the next tourney. I was using 1000 of yards of mono each season. With the Power Pro line,,,I NEVER change it. I only put on maybe 50yds on the spool. I spool mono on it first, the top it off with the Power Pro. I use the hi-vis yellow. All knots seem to work too. You'll feel the lightest of bites because there is no stretch. Also there is no line memory. The ONLY problem I have with it, it does wind-rapp around the tip of the rod at times. It has NEVER worn rod guides or reels. I have my drags loose enough that when I set the hook, it gives a little. I'll get more jigs back to make up for any more cost of the line. I have landed hybird bass up to 8lbs with it not to mention the catfish that has straighten out hooks. Buy a spool of it and you'll see the difference. A 150 yd spool will cost $12 and set up 3 reels. Get a good pair of sissors to cut it. Don't rap it around your hand to pull it outa a snag,,it will cut you. I use a rag, steady pull and it will bend the hook and free it, unless it it rapped around a limb. I know there will be a lot of fisher disagree with this but, this is what I have experience these years of using it. I won't spool anything else on my reels. <*)}}}><
You'll see the difference,,,on the end of your line! PROUD MEMBER OF TEAM GEEZER
