I use Power Pro or Fireline most all the time for panfishing.It has saved me a bunch by getting jigs off deep wood .
Today I decided to try something new. I took a BPS Micro Lite 7' 4 pc spin-fly rod and hung a Shimano Symetre 1500 reel spooled with Yo Zuri 2 lb. mono on it.
I took this outfit and my float tube,to a strip mine in the Victoria, IL. area. The water was 15' to 18' ft and gin clear.The line more than met my expectations. The light, somewhat whippy rod, I would imagine, helped some.
I only saved 26 this trip ,and the largest was 9 1/2".
I left a couple little jigs on deep wood, but that was a small sacrifice for the fun of playing around with the light line. Mike
