I've never had a problem with Power Pro digging into the spool. When I first put the line on, I run the line through the middle of a phonebook with another book stacked on top. It puts enough tension on the spool to pack the Power Pro tight.
The only thing you need to look for is if your spool has a knob or catch to keep the line from slipping. If you don't have one, you're going to have to use a few yards of mono first. If not, the entire spool will slip and you're drag will become useless.
