I use 10# Power Pro on my stradic 2500 and my okuma av20. When I first started using it, I had problems with knots but I don't seem to have any problems with it at all now. I will just add that some reels will cause knots in the power as they're just not designed for braids so if you're having a LOT of problems with knots and you've been using the braid for a while, try it on another reel. Also, always remember to flip your bail manually, this helps with knots as well.

I use 10 lb and am very happy with it, although I am experimenting with the 8 lb and I have to say I am very impressed.

20 on my bait caster and my large spinning rig.

20# on two Okuma's (at the time PP didn't have 15# or 10#, the stuff is that old and still going) and 15# Tuff Line on a Cabela's Salt Striker (going on two years - still smooth and basically no maintenance - great reel for the price)

I use 20 all the way around. Never know whats going to grab you rig in the Glades.

I know we're talking weight here but does anyone else use Tuff Line? $5 cheaper per spool and knots less than PP (or so I've been told)

#10 on my light rig, 15 on my bait caster, 30 on my big spinning rig.

I use mostly 20 and sometimes 30. I seem to get less knots with the 30. Then again, it seems no matter what I put on my Quantam Catalyst, I get knots.

30 on the tarpon rod, 15 on the flats gear except for the trout rod (4 mono).

I'll say it for you. Elitist!

Have always used 10lb test - better casting distance for clear water and spooky fish. Can pack more on a spool for long runs in open water. Casts better in a head wind and as long as I remember to close the bail I can avoid those power pro wind knot moments that can rear their ugly head. I think I get better sensitivity and action out of my lures too - but then again that's just me thinking and my way of thinking is proven to be dangerous.

15# on everything.

(*except on stradic reels: On stradic reels, I switched back to mono to save the gears)

#10 on the spin-reel and #15 on the baitcast-rerl.
