I think it also depends on who is using it. I spooled up my side drifting rods with 15lbs pp and I personally like it alot. It gets wound around the tip of the rid if your not careful. That being said if I have any one else who doesn't fish alot in the boat its another thing all together. In three trips the hmmmmm relatives (aka crackers) I had in the boat continuosly had the pp around the tip of the rod. This ended up loosing a whole tip(don't ask) and break off the tip of another rod. Needless to say I have 12lb Izo back on the rods.
