Has anyone tried this stuff?I just bought some, I figured it might be better then the fusion stuff I had, that was horrible.

Can't say for sure about the Stealth, but agree with you 100% about the fusion.
Many are giving Power Pro at kick at the can this year.
Have also heard good things about P-line.

have not tried the fusion but everybody is recomending the power pro! I hope it's for a good reason, if not i'll have to re-spool 4 reels!

I tried Stealth last year and it was TERRIBLE!!! I stripped it off (I saved it for making my own snells and harnesses cuz I'm a cheap B*tard) and immediately respooled with PowerPro. After finishing out the remainder of last year, I'm a 100% convert. Power Pro rocks!!

Another thumbs down vote from me. I absolutely DESPISED Spiderwire.
I'll have to check out this PowerPro you are all raving about...is it expensive?$?$

Another poor report here. Trolled with it twice this spring and it became brittle and weak. Couldn't even hold knot strength. Just started snapping.
I stripped it off.

Last year was my first year running power pro. I ran it on 3 rods. Well late in the season my spool ran dry on my jigging rod ( all them dam snags)and I spooled up with mono. Not only did I lose my sensitivity, all my line started twisting. Power pro dose not twist. And you always know where the bottom is. This year I spooled 6 rods with it.
P.S. DO NOT use it for salmon fishing. You have never seen flees till you try power pro on the great lakes.
I am sold and will use no other super line

Don't know about the spider wire but I'll throw in my 2 cents for power pro I've been using it for two years now and I swear by it . Just spooled my crappie rod with 4lb p-line and I'm impessed with the strength of it Caught a branch last weekend and I tried to break it off and was amazed when I managed to pull the stick in without breaking the line

Well topwater....you're the first person I've ever heard of that uses power pro for crappies!
I must be missing out on some mega slabs!

Tried Stealth last year.......used it three times and ad to take it off....I hated it! I have never used a line that dug into my spool more than that stuff.

I have powerpro on all my rods except the crappie rod
P-line is a new copolymer that I'm tring out I may change up a couple of rods to p-line this year for clear water.

Sorry Topwater! I mis-read that! I got a good chuckle though.

I use Powere Pro great stuff. Picked some up last night at Wal Mart in Kanata $19.00 for 150 yards.
