To be fair...
Powerpro is definitely a strong line. It will hold the weight it's rated for no problem. So catching your Marlin is no big surprise. However, I just wouldn't say "get high quality line" and then suggest powerpro. There are much better options. Powerpro is like the middle of the road line. It's a personal preference. Try both, see which you like.

I prefer a soft line that won't cut my fingers, won't damage my guides, won't fray and fade after a few months and will last.

No joke. I have had my JB 40# on my jig stick for two years. I can't even tell you how many times I've thrown it. Probably at least 100 yesterday. I have had my 50# JB on my kelp cutter for 1.5 years. I have pulled 3 40#+ WSB and 2 60#s with it. (1 from kayak, 1 from boat) and I honestly can't tell you how many yellow tail there's been more fish I just don't remember which rig they were on Any line that can take the beating I give it and still perform flawlessly, is a winner in my book
