    Anyone use it? If so, what's the best 4lb test braided line out there? Mainly looking for line that doesnt tangle so much.

    we use Power pro and Fireline on days that aren't too windy. I'm not aware of any of the braids that won't give you trouble with tangles and "wind knots". All that we have used is so limp that you have to be careful with it or it will wrap around line guides, rod tips , or get caught on anything. On windy days we use mostly rods with some type mono.

    im looking forward to buy power pro braid line and because of it being thinner i will step up for a 20# test line(i fish for everything keeping stuff mixed up)

    hey why not use a stronger one?

    I like the Power Pro much better than the Fireline. I have used 30 lb Power Pro especially when trying to work close to and in the brush. A lot less re-tieing.

    The PowerPro is great. I use 20 lb. test on a spinning reel. Just be sure to not spool too much when fillling your reels and it won't cause you any problems. No line memory and extremely tough. I bring a small pair of scissors just to cut it with, nail clippers won't do it.

    The 6-time National Champions use P-Line flouracarbon. I think I will use what wins all the time.

    I use 10# Power Pro and am trying the new Spider Wire ultra cast also in 10# and the new Fire Line Crystal is a 6#. I am not sure why you want 4# braid as the 10# is like mono 2# size anyway.

    I use Magibraid, just started using it, but no problems so far. I was using Power-Pro which is great. I switched to Magibraid because the 30 lb test is only .008 dia.
    I haven't find much difference between Power-Pro and Magibraid.
