i was just about to buy powerpro no joke just about to put it on the counter but my buddie said" dont buy powerpro it eats your guide" since i wanted to buy i nice rod for my self i was worried and he told me spiderwire isnt good so what do i buy i heard my windknots are from my style of fishing and casting so im not worried about powerpro knotes so i thought to buy superslick but well i was running the sample of line and in the 10 min waiting in a crowed Walmart line it was sheered maybe it was a open to the element sample   so this worries me of the quality maybe it was a lemon or not  :???:

PP will not cut your guide, been using on pier casting rod for a few years now.  you can also buy rods that have guides made for braided line.

RECoil guides do groove, loomis puts them on someof their rods. Most factory rods come with ceramics which are fine with pretty much any braid.

I use power pro almost exclusively and have never had a problem on any of my 15+ rods. You should be fine, look for high quality rods, the cheaper stuff will probably groove as its meant for mono
