It looks like the Pro Hunter is also called Power Hunter. When I first started using braid i tried about half a dozen different ones and finally settled on the YGK. Never looked back. Its great stuff and I still use it now. Super reliable...
Jap Tak blurb:
YGK Power Hunter braided lines (PE spectra) (soft body, thin coating)
PE, polyethylene braided line is the revolution line to have almost 0 stretch with the maximum sensitivity. The diameter is about a third of monofilament lines, and weight ratio is 0.98 lighter than water. YGK Power Hunter employs 4 strand upgrade filament, Super Dyneema, which has 20% more strength than ordinary Dyneema or Spectra lines. YGK Power Hunter is colored by every 10meter (11yds). Also every 1 and 5 meter, color marking is added. Quality is proven. Made in Japan.
Spools are connected and you may order any length up to 1000m.(1100yds) Colored in different colors by every 10m like chart below. White marking at every 1m (1yd), yellow marking at every 5m. I recommend you add at least 2ft monofilament leader to use these PE braided lines to exploit the best performance of the line.
Line # Mono equiv Dia mm Spool (inter-connected) Price
3 8lb 0.285 100m US$19
4 12lb 0.33 100mUS$19
5 14lb 0.37 100mUS$19
6 17lb 0.41 100mUS$21
8 22lb 0.47 100mUS$21

YGK also have lighter line classes than the above. Its called PE Compact & covers the range from 8lb (0.153 dia) through to 25lb (0.273 dia) and its cheaper than the powerhunter.
Seeing that the Ultra x8 is a bit on the exccy side, the x4 powerhunter well worth a try. When I first used the x8 it felt a bit too light & thin (fragile); at least the x4 felt as though it has some substance about it.
If they hadn't've brought out the x8 ultra all my reels'd still be spooled up with the x4 powerhunter.
