I'm thinking on trying power pro either 20 or 30 lbs test.has anyone used power pro on a bait caster? the reel is an abu garcia 5500 c 3 it will be used for throwing bigger crankbaits etc and fishing from shore as i dont own boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailfreak55 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I had trilines big cat 30 test on my baitcaster and it didn't work very well. I'd imagine that it was because of the high test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
