Were you using a mono backing under the Fireline?


No, I didn't put any backing on the spool with the Fireline. Maybe that's why the line dug in to itself. That would be a solution.

Nevertheless, with the PowerPro, I don't have to do the extra step of backing. Some people do back it with mono because of slippage with the drag (I've never had the problem, but you can also solve it with a small piece of tape on the spool prior to spooling up). Further, the Fireline just seems more like dental floss, where the PowerPro seems to have a more circular "line-like" cross section, and casts better.

If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. I tried them both, and prefer the PowerPro. It is really great stuff. If you have tried it and prefer Fireline, right on, and to each his own. smile
