"Once" is not enough for any braided line to properly break in. They put a coating on the line that has to be somewhat worn for the line to become pliable. Powerpro used to come with a really thick coating that made the moss green line look black. People started complaining because they thought the line was too stiff so they eased up on the coating. The reason you like spiderwire is because it has little to no coating. This allows the line to be quite limber when new, however it will not last as long as other lines. I have powerpro on a spinning reel that is 2 years old.
