Very nice mate! Looks great.

How much of an improvement were the worm drive bearings? I'm considering upgrading all of my reels if the smoothness is noticeable.

I couldn't really tell you if it made a difference as i added the extra bearings before i even made a cast with it.

Speaking for a tatula, the two additional bearings Lift it to another level... Almost "too" smooth After the upgrade...

Power Pro comes in Vermillion Red. I have it in 50lb as backing on a #9 fly outfit. As backing it stays reddish, but on line that regularly sees water and UV light it would lose its colour quite fast.

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't seen to many available in Australia there was one but sure it wasn't PP. I am happy with the J Braid for now. Will put up some more pics when the black/red cast control cap gets here.
