No problems with Power Pro, I mostly use it for fishing around thick grass with frogs/senkos.

neewbies it will be tuff onn you untill you get use to it ..it will back lash on real quick... pluss you it will be tuff in the wind just use little heavier weight ... throw it easy at fist..
I like tungston weight's with mine you even fill it better.. don't pull there lipp's off setting the hook now hee!hee!

50 pound spectra is more rounder than power pro but I use both and like them...I wish they made one that doesn't fade the loose the color after awhile ...

I made a 14" bass fly the first time I used it topwater fishing lilly pads. I still have not learned how hard to set the hook. It's nothing like mono.

Power Pro...I wouldnt recommend a braid newbie put it on a topwater set up. Start with running it on a tx rig, etc and get use to fishing it. Also, get you a good knot you like as well as some fishermans glue to glue knots.

Spool up with a 1/4 spool of mono and then tie the braid with a uni to uni knot. This keeps the line from slipping on the spool.
