What is PowerPro? |
|
Simply put, PowerPro is the ultimate combination of modern technology and old-fashioned fishing knowledge. |
|
|
|
We begin with ultra-strong braided Spectra® Fiber, then use Enhanced Body Technology™ to create an incredibly round, smooth, and sensitive line. PowerPro outperforms monofilament lines in any situation and leaves other superlines in the dust. Try PowerPro on your next fishing trip, and see for yourself why it's every angler's dream - and every fish's nightmare! |

But what is the advatage of Phontom Red |
|
|
| To understand the benefit of Phantom Red, one must understand the
behavior of light as it penetrates the water, because line colors do not look
the same underwater as they do in air. As line descends below the surface,
water absorbs the wavelengths of light selectively, one by one, as depth
increases. Red is the first color to disappear, at a depth of 15 feet (which
is why underwater photographers often use red filters to restore red colors in
their pictures).
While many factors such as total light intensity, water clarity and time of
day or year can alter the depth to which colors are visible, one thing is
constant: PowerPro’s commitment to the serious angler. “We have always
prided ourselves on being the performance leader in the braided line
market,” says Krauland. “From our additions of PowerPro Ice Line,
Downrigger Replacement Cable and Hollow Core to our line up, Phantom Red
continues our commitment to not only meet, but also exceed our customer’s
expectations.” Right in line with the other PowerPro colors of Moss Green,
Hi-Vis Yellow and White, Phantom Red is manufactured with
enhanced body technology, fortifying it with the same incredible sensitivity,
strength and abrasion resistance

How will PowerPro change the way I fish? |
|
|
|
In addition to enhancing your enjoyment and increasing your catch, PowerPro slightly changes the way you set up for a day of fishing. PowerPro works great with any kind of reel, so you don't need any special equipment. Still, switching from mono to PowerPro is like trading your fly swatter in for a two-by-four: it takes a little care to get used to all that extra power! |

When tying PowerPro... |
|
- Pass your line through the eye of your tackle twice, if possible. |
|
|
|
- Double your line before tying, if your tackle allows, to create a larger, stronger knot. |
|
|
|
- Don't use clinch knots, which slip on PowerPro's slick surface. |
|
|
|
- Use a gloved hand, dowel, or soft-jawed pliers to avoid injury when tightening knots. |
|
|
|
- Moisten your knot before tightening. |
