Oh ya power pro !!!!!!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
But I do try to use Shimano the most . There my favorite !!!!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
I prefer Shimano reels and I only use Powerpro. I like to back the spool with mono, but I mainly do this to conserve the braid. The most important thing is getting the reel setup properly for braid. I use 20lb braid for saltwater which is super thin and I don't have digging problems.
I also use shimano and 65 power pro with no problems but use backing http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
I dont use any backing , and dont have any problems . But using some cheap mono will save ya a lil $$$$$ http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

For sure Gun, I use the 50lb and only put about 50 yards of line. The only things I use the big nasty braid for are frogging and flippin', neither technique require much line http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
I ONLY use 65 because the only time I use braid is THICK cover and HEAVY grass . I dont respool a hole lot , just peel some off when the end starts gettin a lil old . http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
Just to put my 2 cents in... round braid is a must, the reel brand doesn't matter but a low speed reel thends to have digging problems more than high speed due to the line spools closer together on the spool per revolution...
Buy some Daiwa Samurai braid. It is round so it does not dig into the line on the spool. Also it is the smoothest line you will ever use. I use to use power pro but after trying Samurai braid I never looked back.
I use 65 lb Stren Super Braid for flippin in heavy cover. The reels I use are Revo S, and Revo SX. I've never had any problems.
Make sure you spool that braid so it is pretty snug on the spool. If it is fluffy under the first layer you might have some digging problems.

Let me tell you how to fix this issue. It doesnt matter what type reel you have - there is a trick. Spool your reeel like you normally would. THEN tie the end of your line to your trailer hitch. Walk back and un-spool all of your line. THEN tighten your drag ALL the way down and crank yourself to your trailer hitch. THis gets all the line SNUGG and keeps braid issues to a minumum!! Good Luck http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
I stand still and reel the truck to me.

Yeah what the he'll why not. My home lake is TB have second home on lake. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif Ok good deal, to visit here you need to give me hot spots. I only fish it one weekend a year. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif
Just got back to fishing the lake use to fish alot on La side up around the hog pin area. That's been 20 plus years ago when damn near all the timber was still standing above the water. Now most of it's gone. Plus I bought a place on Texas side. Kids have grown up and the rodeo days are done so now gone back to fishing. Now having to learn lake again sorry can't offer much help.
I visit a camp between Buckeye and Big Bass. Try not to run too far to fish.
I splash my boat at Sandy Creek cause my place is in Fairmount over on FM3315.
If they made a braid that I couldn't snap easier than 8 pound mono I would give you a suggestion...as for now, the only suggestion I can give is to get rid of the braid and get some real line... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

Amen to that....i hate braid. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthdown.gif
Bad thing is you can pull a truck with it, but if I set the hook on a 2 pound fish it will pop...I have never, and I mean not one time set the hook on a fish with braid on a worm/jig and not had it pop. I started using it on my crankbait and spinner bait rods, and had good success till one day while fishing a tournament in old river, I had a fish hit a mid range bandit and he hit it flying at the boat...threw slack in the line, I set back, and popped it. the very next day, the same thing happened with a spinner bait, and popped again...couple seconds later a 4 pound fish went airborn with my spinnerbait hanging out. I haven't touched brain since...it's not that I have a ferocious hook set or anything either...I've discovered that the way I set the hook with a worm or what not is what breaks it...I reel down, and continue to go down without catching up to the line and when I set, there is a small amount of slack in it...the shock load pops it every time... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
What kind of knot do you tie?
wasn't breaking in the knot....or coming untied...
wasn't accusing....just asking! Geez.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
