just got my new davis rod and from first appearance it looks like a monster rod its 5'9" long and is rated for 130lb and let me tell you this thing looks like it can handle it. i just tied it with a 100lb test to a 45lb weight and picked it up off the ground and this rod barely bent lol i also just got my new 113hlw 4/0 loaded with 80lb power pro and it looks great ebay is the best place to get good items at low price i paid 80$ shipping included a piece for these two and am very happy with my buys i also just picked up 1500 yds of 100lb pp for 98$ shipping included lol ebay hands down is the best place ever for a fisherman 
Watch out for that ebay power pro - lots of scamming going on over the years with that stuff. Empty spool cost $1.00 - print out fake power pro label $1.00 - buy fake chineese braid for $25.00 for 2500yds - - - - - - sell on ebay for $100.00 = profit of $73.00. Not bad for the jerks selling the knock off products and then you get a bunch of people screaming power pro is crappy line when in reality they never actually fished power pro but rather some cheap knock off line marketed as power pro. See my point - be careful.
oh i know i bought from a dude who has 99.9% positive feedback and sold over 5000 items lol it comes sealed and everything and the davis rod i would suggest to anyone who doesnt have the means to buy a 200$ plus strong rod has aluminum seat fuji turbo guides(or nice rollers if you want rollers) and is definitely the strength they say also is IGFA certified so good buy and ill be checking breaking strength right when it gets here i have an inline scale and ill make sure breaking strength is atleast 100lbs lol

These are the only guys that i trust. They actually manufacture the braid themselves.

I've always liked power pro and I have a few sellers I trust for it and they have high ratings and have sold a bunch of items so ya but I still test it when I get it just to makes sure
The line above is made from 8 strands, which makes it more superior then power pro at 4 strands. In other words, that 8 strand braid has more resistance to quick jerkiness then a 4 strand one. So basically more strands a braid has, more endurance you'll gonna get from that line.
The pp I bought is 8 strand pp has a new line of 8 strand look it up

I was not aware about the fact that power pro comes in 8 strands - i always knew they make it in 4 strands. If that's true, i just learn something new today.
Is that called the PowerPro Super 8 Slick?
Ya I believe its called super 8 ill check real quik but pretty sure that's the new line
