Power Pro’s New 5-pound Test

Innovative Textiles has introduced a boon companion to ultra-light tackle.
Today’s fishermen are savvier in applying the fine tuned skills needed to stay afloat in competitive fishing.

“Although we’ve had the technology to make 5-pound test for several years now, I just didn’t think the superline market was mature enough for a line this light...until now,” says company president Konrad Krauland. “But caution must be used with this ultra-light line; anglers need to be more gentle on the hook set and soft tipped rods are a plus.”

Until now, finesse fishermen had been limited to monofilament lines, placing them at the mercy of line twists due to its coiling “memory” characteristic. But by spooling up with PowerPro, closing the bail manually and backing off on the drag a bit, this problem can be effectively eliminated. Anglers are now able to reap the benefits of an ultra-light line with incredible strength, sensitivity and castability. This new test has all of the qualities that set Power Proa part from other braids. Enhanced Body Technology (EBT)is what makes the difference. EBT creates a line that is rounder and more compact, which resists burying in the spool. Power Pro is smoother, has improved knot performance, creates less friction on guides, reduces whip knots and rod tip wraps. The 5-pound test has a diameter less than 1-pound mono (>.005”), comes in the same put ups as the rest of the sizes (100 yd., 150 yd., 300 yd., 500 yd. & 1,500yd. spools) and the same colors (Moss Green, Hi-Vis Yellow, White and NEW Phantom.

Gamakatsu’s Magic Eye Treble

Switching (or we better make that upgrading) the treble hooks on your favorite lure just can be much easier if you fish with a Gamakatsu Magic Eye Treble.

This hook has a special eye shape that allows for an easy switch. The design opens the split ring and there is no need for special split-ring pliers and it saves your fingernails.

You just insert the hook and give it a twist. The new hook goes on while pushing the old one off. It is that easy.
