I tried a braided cable last year and...OMG !! The fleas were so bad I stripped it after the first hour of use. It was cabelas though. I'd like to go to the PP but I don't want to waste my money.

Thanks for any help on the subject

In all honesty Rod it isn't any better. I an it last year. I fish the West end where the fleas arent as bad as they are on the East side. I dealt with it.

Rod in Oregon it was the hot ticket until winter. Then in 10 degree weather they would ice up so bad that you could not get all the line back on the spool.

Hey rod, I fished #300 pp last season on my big jons w #12 sharks and had very few probs. A few fleas here and there but not a prob and I fish out of Oswego. It was only one season but considering that i didnt have to listen to the wildly annoying drone of those cables I wont go back to ss cable unless i absolutely have too. Actually the only prob was finding the stuff, had to order a spool from Victoria Isl, B.C.

Good Luck

We used power pro for a couple of years and when the fleas are bad it is terrible. Took it off and went back to wire

how is the blow back compared to ss cable? We had a mishap last year during the seneca trout derby and had to replace it. Picked up a spool of braid and it seemed to have more blowback than the other rigger 12# weights. Just wondering on your experiences.
