power pro, there is no substitute. One thing many don't do is keep a few extra reels around that have been reworked or freshly cleaned and detailed. Then rotate your reels, by rotate I mean take the full reel and put a backing on it to prevent line spin and digging. Then attach the end of the line to the fresh reel and reel it on. I use my power pro two seasons. For backing I use 12 pound maxima that way if you hook a sturgeon while springer fishing the backing breaks and not your 300.00 favorite springer rod. Been doing this six or seven years, works awesome.Another helpful hint is buy the 1500 yard spools, this way you and your fishing partners can divide up the cost, way cheaper
