5lb power pro alright?
Is the 5lb power pro alright line for light tackle fishing in your opinions? It's fairly cheap and I've never once seen a bad review about it. I'll be using it mainly for redfin and some yellowbelly, with occasional trips to the coast. I have noticed that it is a little thick for the rated bs, but it still seems like good line. Or is there another line I should be looking at?

Most people on here arent great fans of it but personally i like it a lot. Especially for heavier application. Correct it's a bit thick so go down a size and it's strong as hell. Colours fade pretty quick and there is a minor line twist memory problem.
Overalls it's great for the price and very reliable stuff. I have several reels spooled with it.

 it's pretty good foe the price. The other to look at for a similar price is the fire line exceed which will also do the job no probs.

I have been using it for over a year and have had no problems with it. I have even landed a three kilos snapper on it while fishing for bream at Paynesville.
I also use 8lb on another outfit I fish for Flathead and last November got Flathead of one meter at Lake Tyers.

ive been using it for years now and I love it.
all my rods have it from 20lb snapper gear to 3 lb ultra light bream and trout gear. I can not fault it other then it fades and minor line twist which is no biggie. it will do you justice for its price.

Yeah I do really like the fireline exceed, if i can get it in blaze orange at my local I'll go with 4.4lb fireline exceed. And I do agree that super pe is thinner and smoother, but I get a few windknots and I've had a couple of breakages randomly, nothing major but I want a line I can 100% trust. I know i can trust fireline, and people seem to to trust pp. But I think I'll go with fireline excced just because it is pretty thin. If I ever need a good braid for a heavier setup (cod, barra etc), I'll def strongly consider pp.

+ 1 on the exceed.But i wouldn't mind trying the power pro.
I think most lines fade these days don't they. But the exceed hasn't let me down.
