power pro super slick


Recommended Posts

Just spooled some up last weekend. Seems nice and quiet. I've casted with it a few times and like the feel. I am not much of an original PP guy but this stuff is quite different. So far, so good.

I have, it casts better than original Power Pro, and much quieter through the guides.. seems less stiff as well. Which is nice.

I have some on my jiging rods and it is very smooth but still has the feel of the superlines.

Anyone know how it compares to Sufix 832? How is it with retaining water, resisting digging into spool (for baitcasters)?

I've been pretty happy with 832, but its good to keep up on other options.

Have you heard or estimated thats its supposed to be powerpro's version of 832? I thought that 832 was a little over rated with all due respect. I would rather use normal powerpro vs 832. I'm trying to form a decision to buy a spool or not.

IMO where 832 shines over Powerpro - much quieter through the guides, and a lot drier. I would assume you would see the same improvements with Super Slick over normal PowerPro.

Not to hi-jack this thread but I've been trying to compare this to the sunline braid fx2. Anyone?

I took a look at this line at Gander today. Is brown the only choice for color?

No, it comes in blue, green, and yellow too. I think brown was the first color out of the factory though and that's what most stores got at first. I've seen green, but I'm guessing most stores want to move the brown line first.

Thanks Nick!

Would have liked to try it but would rather use green.

I'm a hard core PP guy for Lindy rigging because it's very limp and comes off the spool easy. I tried 832 10#/4# this weekend and hated it. It was constantly sticking and hard to get off even with some reel majic. I have to be the hardest guy in the world to please with line because 832, nano, fireline and crystal have all gone in my garbage. This is getting expensive, do most people fish so little they think the stuff works or is it just Lindy rigging it all sucks for? I'm almost afraid to even try the super slick PP for just this reason, I guess when you find something you like you should stick with it but you know were all suckers for new and improved.

I love this stuff. I have always been a power pro guy and am switching from the original to the super slick. Its way more quiet and smoother. Funny thing is, you dont really notice the noise difference until you make the switch.

Are you guys finding it in any color besides brown? That's all I've found stocked around here...

Found it in NEON Green at Dick's Sporting Goods. Funny thing was, I was actually looking for timber brown and they didn't have it.

I loved regular PP had it on all my rods tell i got some 832, lil pricy but i think its the best stuff iv ever used. And PP super slick in my opinion is still a lil stiffer then 832.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
