Power Pro and Fins Superline

Power Pro and Fins Superline are very good lines. Strong, sensitive, no memory, close to zero stretch, thin diameter, easy to untangle when backlashes, smooth line so won't cut guides like fireline/fusion does.

Fins Superline is make by FINS Inc.(www.finsfishing.com) They use the same material SPECTRA that Power Pro used. The only apart this two line are the way they making them. For Power Pro Braid line. They make the line first then coated with spacial wax to make the line more smooth and more water proof. But after few outing, you will found that the wax wear off and start loose its color. You can use a marker to recolor the line or just leave it. Because Spectra won't held the dye color. The color you add on will fade out again. In the other hand. The FINS PRT BRAID Superline, Which PRT (Polymer Reinforced Technology) is dye the color when still in Spectra Fibers state. Then using the high tech resins with polymer reinforce into the Spectra Fibers to create the composite lines. This makes the line improof the knot by providing better grip of the line and eliminates air knotting and rod tip wrapping. Also the color will stay much longer.

Fireline is Thermal Filament fishing line. They made with Micro Dyneema fiber. Fireline and fusion are very close. They own by the same company. My-self found this two lines a little bit too hard. You need a rod with better quality guides and aluminum reel spool to handle these two lines. They can give you a long cast, good hook set and very stronger plus very sensitivity.

Québec Fishing Licenses & Regulations

Fishing Licenses in Quebec
There are three categories of sport fishing licenses: salmon fishing, fishing for species other than salmon and burbot fishing. The license indicates the date, hour and minute issued and must be signed by the individual who sold it and by the license holder. When sport fishing, you must have your fishing license with you, and be prepared to present it, on request, to a wildlife protection officer or assistant. In the event the license is lost, stolen, or altered beyond use, another license must be purchased to continue fishing.

Exemptions
The spouse of the holder of a license for species other than salmon or of a license for burbot as well as their children under 18 years of age are entitled to fish without a license.

Children under 18 may fish without a license provided they are supervised by the holder of a fishing license or his/her spouse, aged 18 and older. The total number of fish caught and kept each day must not exceed the quantity to which the license holder is entitled.
Note: These measures apply to residents and to Non-residents.

Salmon Fishing
Before fishing in salmon rivers, consult the brochure entitled "Salmon Sportfishing 2001" which describes the fishing conditions applying to salmon rivers. In a salmon river, a person must hold an Atlantic salmon sport fishing license to fish for any species during the salmon fishing season. Outside the salmon fishing season, the holder of a fishing license for species other than salmon can fish for these species in the parts of certain salmon rivers (consult "Salmon Sportfishing 2001")

Non Residents
Non-residents must hold a Québec sport fishing license to fish anywhere in Québec.

Purchasing a License
Licenses to fish for species other than salmon are sold by authorized license distributors, usually sport goods stores, hardware or convenience stores. These licenses are also sold by certain outfitters as well as certain wildlife reserves. However, this license is not required when fishing in a park managed by Parks Canada or in a fish pond. The spouse and children of a non-resident may fish without a license in some cases.
