Yes, I really like it. I have some 30# fireline on two of my salt water reels. I really don't like it as well as the Power Pro. It seems stiffer and I don't like how it handles or packs on the reels. Not that it's bad...I just like PP better. It's really amazing to get a big hit on a superline....It just about rips the rod from your hand. I really like PP for jigging. You can really feel the light hits a lot better.

I think I'm gonna give it a shot real soon.  I had one rod spooled with 20lb. Iron Silk mono and am getting rid of it.  Knot strength is terrible!!  I tied improved clinch and palomar knots and both broke with ease.

I know what you mean about big strikes on super lines.  AWESOME!! I used to use Fireline when casting plugs was legal for salmon.  When a 30+lb salmon smashes your crankbait at full speed with any super line you'd better be hanging on and have your drag set right too or your gonna be making a trip to the tackle shop!  ;D
May your doorknobs smell of fish!!

By the way, I got out for my first serious musky outing of the year yesterday.  No takers but, I did have a nice 40"+ fish make sure I was awake by swirling at my lure at boatside.  The water clarity was real bad and it actually hit the side of the boat!!  I love musky fishing!! Even the follows are exciting. ;D  Now we just need for this retched rain to stop and the feed will be on!
