Which do you use and which do you like better? Why?

I use power pro. havent use another braided line other than this one spool of PP i bought. Might try out some tuf-line on another reel...when i get one

Tuf-line
Less knots, less money, and it doesn't turn white.

Have always used power pro and have little to no problems.

PP here but I might give T.L. a shot if Skeeter likes it. He's a pretty smart fella.

I've used them both and have and find them to be pretty similar. No major complaints about either one.

I prefer TL over PP, I've had way less knots in TL and the price is way less.

Whats the going price for tuf line. And is it as this as PP, because i bought 15lb PP and could have bought 30LB with a small diameter.

So is tuf-line as thin, and do they sell it at like wal-mart, or would i have to go to fisher-mans world?

Fishermans World and Anclote Bait and Tackle both carry TL.

My two main reels are spooled with 15lb TL.

I've found 150yds of 15lb Tl for $9.95 +/-

I've always used PP, but spooled up a reel with TL, a few months ago and I can't say I've noticed any advantages over PP, other than price.
They both perform equally well.

Tuff line.

Bought a big spool of it about three months ago. Less problems with it in my experiences.

I really can't tell the difference between them.. but TL is cheaper.. so all things being equal TL.(I use both)

I hear good things about the Stren Super Braid.

I have one inshore spooled with PP and one with TL. I have more knots with TL. However, I do use the TL setup a little bit more than the rod spooled with PP. I am thinking of respooling with PP.

PP...I'm happy with it, so I've never tried TL.

I might be spreading rumors, but...Tuf Line and Power Pro are made in the same factory. Pretty much if not, the same thing with a different label. Calcutta Braid is also Power Pro (and they aren't ashamed to even put "Made by Power Pro" on their package).

I use power pro and got my first wind knot in about 8 months last weekend (it was new line). New line supposively gets the wind knots as you break it in...

the other week on one of the fishing shows they compaired all the braided lines they said that all the braided lines where made in one of two factories. they also put loads on the line to see where it would break and all the lines broke at about 50 % higher then what they where rated for
(20lb broke at 30lb)
I use power pro but after seeing that report I will try tuff-line next
