I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

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!!
