thanks solotripper, that was a good read. it answered a lot of the questions i had and mastertangler addressed the one question i had left about how well PP cut through the water. fireline is pretty flat and is quite thin so it cuts through the water quite well.

ill have to get a spool of PP and see how i like it.

any suggestions on what lb test? i primarily use the baitcaster for pitching jigs, rattletraps, spinnerbaits, spoons and plugs. nothing overly big. probably the 15 lb test (4lb diameter mono) PP. i use the 14lb test (6lb diameter) fireline currently

what color? i generally fish in clear lakes and mildly stained rivers. i have the smoke fireline but the red PP looks interesting
