PowerPro :)

Moss green, 20lb is my choice for last ten years or so, no reason to change.
 
John, Angling direct were selling 13kg and 8kg powerpro for £6 last week ,do not know if the offer is still on though,Just checked still available.

Power Pro Super Slik is excellent....

Yes, been using the Super Slick 8 for some years now and it is 'better' than the standard Power Pro. Smoother through the rings/guides and rounder in profile. Timber brown is the colour I've used.
There are a number of new 8 strand braids out there which may be a good choice. Sufix and Daiwa brands (Sufix Performance Pro 8 and J Braid) spring to mind. I have some but need to use it.....
Buy by diameter - so for 20lb go for 0.23mm and don't be mislead by breaking strains, Euro and USA ratings and latest devil of confusion PE rating.

Some PE confusion.......
PE 0.6 - 0.128mm
PE 0.8 - 0.148mm
PE 1 - 0.165mm
PE 1.2 - 0.185mm
PE 1.5 - 0.205mm
PE 1.7 - 0.218mm
PE 2 - 0.235mm
PE 2.5 - 0.260mm
PE 3 - 0.285mm
PE 3.5 - 0.310mm
PE 4 - 0.330mm
PE 5 - 0.370mm

Line twist?
