Roger gant uses power pro 20lb test I use 10lb/2dia he said he can't see 10lb why he uses 20lb. I like timber brown great color. Bought some braid at Cabelas its green color in 8lb/2dia gonna try it out cause cheaper but power pro is really good!!! Like you said put it straight and pull straighten hook or break. I set drag lite so works great long lining the bnm roger gant "the difference" rods. They have very sensitive tip never broke one with fish but I break them myself a lot just clumsy lol.
I also put half reel in mono and on 150 yard of power pro I put 50 yards on 3 poles works very good and plenty extra for hang ups if you need to let it run lil farther when hung up you got plenty.
