Hey saltwaterron, what type of reel do you use?
With the power pro, before you put any major tension on the line, make sure and give it a nice, long cast in the water. Even on my new spinning reel, the line had a tendacy to bury in the spool until I gave it a cast and reeled it in. It seems to lay on the spool better once it's been wet and reeled in under tension. Make sure that you spooled the reel good and tight too! You'll also need to use a different type of knot than what you might be use to. A good one for braid is the polimer knot or the trilene knot. When you purchased that spool of power pro, it should have directions to tie a couple knots that work well with the line. If you seem to have issues with any of them, I can show you how to tie them when you drop by the shop next week. [cool] Just bring some line and a few nick nacks to tie on.
