Bottom Line
The Super 8 Slick V2 is a superb option if you're looking for a premium braided line that'll last you ages for all kinds of techniques. This line offers immense abrasion resistance, while casting is an absolute pleasure. The perfectly round profile of the Slick V2 makes it a pleasure to work with and if you're tying quality knots, it'll almost never slip.
This is definitely a higher priced braided-line, but you have to consider the quality that PowerPro is bringing to the table. Many have said that the Slick V2 competes with the likes of the Smackdown.
