God made spiderwire on the 8th day

Just decided to respool. I went with 10lb stealth spiderwire. I'm no "spring chicken", I've been fishing for 30 years at least. This spiderwire just amazes me! This 10lb has 2lb dia!!!! Awesome! I have lashed the boat with 20lb! (snags and such)....  Does anyone have anything bad to say about it? (I have nothing but praise) Other than the price. Interested in your feedback.

Try Power-pro

Cut myself? been there done that years ago when it first came out. hurts like hell to. like a papercut almost.

I have used this line for about 3 years now. This line is really great and i like it for many applications like perch fishing or walleye jigging in deep water. My buddy actually thinks you can feel the fish looking at your bait with this line. There a few different things that happen with the line.
 
If you are changing lures it is tough to continually tie them on because you need a knife or something to cut the line. nail clippers will work but not the best.
 
Tangles happen very quickly and are almost impossible to get out. When trolling with sinkers and worms the sinker sometimes ties a knotdue to the limpness of the braided line.
 
When casting plugs like rapalas for walleye you have to be careful not to pull too hard on hook sets or the lure will ill pull out of the fishes mouth if you pull too hard. Or you may come in with just lips! Some time a piece of mono on the end helps.
 
The first 5 feet or so tend to get furry after alot of use and will need to be removed ocasionally.
 
Drag tension become very important since there is no stretch in this line and a goo limber rod also helps.
 
 

I use the Stren Super 30# / 8 dia.  It is great for detecting smaller 'eye hits when running dipsys.  Especially last year w/ the abundance of '03 fish that were 16 to 19".

I really like the Spiderwire for fishing for pike and musky.. No need for steel leaders.

 
Thats what my buddies would always say until they each lost a few decent musky's when setting the hook. After that they were using steel leaders along with the super lines. I love all the super lines, saved many lures when snagged usually the hook straightens before your line snaps, unless you got weak spots in the line from rocks and other things or didn't tie a good enough knot. I did have one fish break my 20lb power pro line down the river the other week. I think the line was banged up a little and my drag was set way too tight I seem to always forget to loosen my drag after I get snagged, live and learn.

I have use Spyderwire, Fireline, Proline and Power Pro.  I would have to say that Power Pro is my favorite.  I use 10 lb test on my smaller reels and 16 lb on the larger ones.  It casts like a champ, wears well and the knots stay tied.  I really like the Power Pro line and would recommend giving it a try.

I just tried the Power Pro and got 10lb test for my spinning reel for bass and such.  I do like it but had a lot of line twists and two big knots that resulted in a loss of a lot of line.  Should I bump up the pound test since the 10lb test Power Pro has a diameter of 2lb mono and is that why I'm getting these knots?  Anyone else have this problem?

I think ready2fish is right on.  I experienced the same thing.

IUP30,
 
I just had two reels filled with Prower Pro and they cast fine for awhile and then, the dreaded knots.  I picked them out the first couple of times, but the last one I got was such a mess that I had to cut off and start over.  Since I cut off that knot, I have not had a problem.  Also, did you spool the line yourself or did you have it spooled on at a tackle shop?  I have usually had less problems when I spool up the reel than when I have it spooled on.
 
Also, have you tried to use a swivel to reduce line twist?

"Wind knots", one of the downfalls of braid on casting gear.  I use it on some of my trolling rigs for braid divers and flat lines w/ plugs (helps get more depth).  I also use it on my walleye jigging ice fishing gear as main line attached to a spro ball bearing swivel and then 3 foot leader of 12# test fluoro to a snap.
