Nice job on the catching. I moved your post and created your own thread.

Nice report, You may not be breaking the power pro you just might be pulling your knots out. Same thing happened to me last year. That power pro is strong stuff but it is also quite slippery.

I need coffee before i post:lol: The power pro definietly broke on the tangle, got my dipsy back from leadcore line(20 flouro) and the snap had bought 4" of PP on it. Guess i dont know on the trip one, my buddy also did that one. Thinking about bumping up to 50# as i have been having bad luck with breaks but great luck catching fish with the braid vs mono.

I use the 50# power pro. But I know guys using 20#. Another thing to check is your rod guides. If your rod guides are cheap plastic that pp will saw right through it and get burrs. And if you dont take your dipseys off when you travel it can fray the line on a bad tip. Just something to check.... The last thing you want is to donate a diver flasher rig on every trip out.
