Overview
Now introducing PowerPro Spectra Braided Line in Vermillion Red. In recent years there has been a craze among anglers to use Red line. But Why? The logic behind this trend is based largely on the color spectrum in water. Since shades of red are the first color to fade, it is thought that by using red colored line, the angler's line "disappear" underwater. Truth be told, Red does not disappear but in fact turns to a shade of Gray. This gray tone will help to blend the line in to the background and become much less visible to most species of fish. The color red will completely fade out at a depth of 14 feet. Therefore, when targeting fish in depths of 20 feet or greater, Red Line is ideal. Whether you are deep cranking for bass; trolling for lake trout, walleye or salmon; or bottom fishing in deep rivers Power Pro Vermillion Red Spectra Braided Line should be on your reel. It also features a new dye concentration system that eliminates color bleeding
Featuring Power Pro’s proprietary Enhanced Body Technology (EBT), Power Pro Spectra Braided Line in Vermillion Red is the roundest, smoothest, easiest to use Superline on the market. Unequalled sensitivity and hook setting power let you feel the smallest strike and set the hook with confidence. Abrasion resistant for fishing all types of structure, it is smooth and slick for superior casting performance. Perfect for conventional or spinning reels, its superior strength-to-size ratio also enables you to fish with lighter and more compact reels.

Comments: I have been using Vermillion Red Power Pro on my spinning reels for two years now and I have had ZERO issues with wind knots, fraying, knot strength, fading or digging into the spool or the line itself. ZERO. I fish almost exclusively spinning gear cashing smallmouth in the northeast and I have tried all the other major brands, Sunline, Sufix, Seaguar, Daiwa and Gamma, and none of them are as consistently reliable as Power Pro. To me, Power Pro is the longest casting, most supple, strongest, best casting brain on the market. Hands down, bar none. If you want a consistently reliable braid, I would recommend this line.

Comments: Love this stuff. I use every color at particular times/places. Absolutely no problems with PowerPro ever. Ive tried other stuff but there's always something to criticize about with other braids. As for the guys getting dye on you and your equipment, you might want to get correct guides for braid because your guides are probably whats breaking down your line. Also... If the line is noisy going through your guides than you don't have good guide inserts for braid. Use the right stuff and you'll get the right results.

Comments: I use 8 and 10lb on my spinning reels, never had one issue in 4 years. On my casting reels I use 30lb and never had one issue. It lasts for about two seasons, is easy to see, casts well, and ties knots well. I use the double palomar when tying directly to hooks/lures and the FG knot when tying on leaders, both knots have never failed.

Comments: I put the 30lb on my casting setup and the only downside for me is that it is more noisy than the slick 8 power pro but its still a great line I've had this line for over 2 years and never had one break off or fading whatsoever and I haven't had to respool it yet either

Comments: I was very excited to give this vermillion red line a try after reading about it. As always, power pro didnt disappoint with the quality of their line but the red dye was a huge let down. I spooled the 40lb on my abu garcia revo x and after just one time of use, my fingers, reel, and rod were stained red. I cleaned everything off thinking it was just the first bit of dye, which i kind of expected. But after going out two more times with it, everything was covered in dye again. I tore it off and threw the original moss braid back on. I was really hoping it wouldnt have been such a mess.

Comments: I put this through the ringer and I'll tell you one thing the Red does not bleed at all let alone drip red dye. That's a ridiculous statement. I went with Red because red is suppose to be the first color in the spectrum to disappear in water making it more adaptable between bodies of water.

Comments: I have used the red and green varieties of this braid in 100# & 80# respectively & have yet to have any die come off on my hands. I have logged countless hours fishing for muskie in rain, wind, and beautiful weather & this braid is super tough, has not failed me to date. Pros - excellent castability, excellent strength, no problems holding knots. Cons- will dig deep and I mean deep into the braid on the spool. Casting pounders and large baits accentuates this issue. I had to cut and respool twice this season entirely and also had to add line a few times after digging out backlashes that were severe. Only with the 100# though. Operator fatigue was the culprit in all cases. You will not break this line. You get hung up good enough......good luck!

Comments: I bought the red line and only left it on for a few days before going back to green. The red seems to make a terrible mess as it fades. If you want red be prepared to have a red stained thumb after each day. It also gets on your clothes, drips onto your boat, and gets all over the rod and reel seat. I didnt have the same issue with the green and now use that again.

Comments: this is the best braid ive ever used, its strong braid but its also not hard to cut. u can throw up into cover and have confidence to be able to pull a fish out of there with ease. and with the vermillion red and the high vis yellow its very easy to see, this is really the only braid ill ever use. its great.
