I've been using Seaguar Kanzen but tired of it turning my reel and hand green the first couple days using it. Bunch of green washes off badly. Any suggestions on a good green colored braid that doesn't wash off?

I don't care what a braid does as long as it doesn't break. Can't go wrong with sufix 832

Never had power pro turn me or tackle green. It will fade with time and lots of use on the last couple foot or so close to bait. Strip a couple foot off and good to go again, or hit it with a sharpie and it will be fine. Have use PP since I started bass fishing with no complaints, have used others as well. I like a couple others, but they cost more also. Keep going back to power pro. Like my daddy says, "If it ant broke don't fix it."

This pretty much sums it up. I've used PowerPro since I learned there was such a thing. It's always been great for me, and I don't foresee switching any time in the near future. If it can pull up a brush pile anchored by buckets with concrete, I don't have any worries about losing a fish on it. That's beside the point, though. I haven't noticed it turning my hands or reels any color.

They have a new line coming out this year that is 25% thinner than the existing PP braided fishing lines: Maxcuatro.

I'm a Suffix 832 user. I tried some other braids and have gone back to Suffix 832. I do use leaders though.

I have not used Power Pro but have very similar experiences with the Suffix 832. 832 also doesn't bind or kink up on the spool so that it makes it difficult to cast.

I like Samurai. It doesn't change colors or bleed.

I have recently switched to power pro for most of my fishing with the addition of a fluoro or mono leader. I have loved it. I haven't noticed the green rubbing off on anything. I had been using mostly mono. I don't have to re-spool after every couple trips now.

I buy mine direct but you can get it at Fishing Tackle Unlimited. They have a website for non Houston folk.

Diawa Samarai or Suffix 832. Both incredible lines that aren't over-dyed from the factory. Power Pro has been the worst for me as far as too much dye. Still good line though.
