    Casting, shooting, dropping minnows, 6 pound Vicious Hi Vis....Slip Corking (I slip cork docks at LOZ and don't want to get sawed off) 10 pound Power Pro ORIGINAL...trolling cranks usually 10 pound mono (any decent brand) unless I use my slip cork rig then it's Power Pro on one rod. Open water and no brush to worry about 6 pound test will also do for trolling cranks. If I dipped trees I would use 10 to 15 pound Power Pro ORIGINAL or. I have never tried Nanofil because there is no way I would ever pay that much money to fill a crappie reel when I can get 2360 yards of Vicious Hi Vis for $10.

    Power Pro 4/15 High vis yellow. I like to straighten my hooks out when hung up and get my jig back.

    Check out Gamma fishing line. In the panfish hi vis the breaking strength is incredible. It also won't kink as bad as pline or viscious.

    Just got back from 5 days at LOZ ... used the new Power Pro Slick 8 V2 for the first time and REALLY like it. Casts great with 1/32 jig. And that 4/15 braid helps save a lot of snagged hooks. It also ties easily.

    Last time I used Power Pro yellow I found it not to be near as supple as original. Maybe I got a bad spool has anyone else had this problem because I really like the visibility of the yellow over original. And no offense to anyone who pays for line like Nanofil. I just think what some of these manufacturers are changing for line is a little much.

    You can get nanofil on Ebay for about the cost of good braid.
