When I am fishing out in the ocean at Westport or thereabouts, I never use my rods loaded with the power-pro. I use 25+ mono, it gives somewhat, allowing you to get that fish that you fell asleep on, as well as it allows me to get the line out faster with less worries about the line getting tangled on the tip. Powerpro does not give you a second chance to make a mistake, ever seen a rod explode when a rookie (sometimes a pro) tries to set the hook with the rod loaded. Another thing is mono does not cut into your hands as much as powerpro when trying to release the fish properly.
I do use Powerpro in PugetSound for blackmouth fishing, the smaller diameter allows me to fish the bottom depths easier. I usually use the pro-troll releases.
