Thanks for this thread!!  I bought some power pro braid last week and tried it over the weekend.  Wow, love the stuff, I'm sold after one evening.  Casts pretty smooth, tough knots, and I swear I could feel the hair on the jig fluttering in the water on the fall.

Dan, thanks for the tip with regards to mono backing the reel before spooling the braid -- problem solved!!
