I had terrible problems with power pro and the Scotty "pincher" style release while trolling flashers... I swithed to a blacks release and the problem was solved. I know that mono is supposed to work better because the blow back on mono keeps some tension on the release.... I dont buy it... I rarely lose a fish that trips my release...unless I do something stupid at the boat! I ran two rods for a week at Port Hardy... one with power pro, the other mono.... there was no difference in somewhere near a couple hundred releases.

In Summary:

Use whatever you like, you will have to use a different release for braids w/flashers.
