I put Power Pro 30lb with 8lb diameter on my spinning reel and man is that great stuff! I'm going to try it this winter and see what happens. When I was floatin it would stay on top of the water and as you lifted your pole to take in slack it wouldn't affect the float at all and drag it.

I drifted it later in the day and experienced no problems, but I did use a mono leader.

Good Luck...
