    Default What type of line?


    I know this has been asked a thousand times! but its is time for me to re-spool. I have been useing the high vis yellow and cajun red 4# and 6#test. I really don't have a problem with either, just like to get some input from some other people.

    If you haven't been having a problem, don't change a thing! I wish some of mine were worry free. I hate all spinning reels and the line that goes on them!

    If there is plenty of line on the reel, tie it off to something, strip it from the reel, re-spool it backwards. You only use the first 30 yards or so, the rest is new line. I began using the Mr. Crappy yellow line last year, have had no problems with it and it seems to be 2 to 4 lbs stronger than the rating, eg., i normally use 6 lb., it seems much stronger than other 6 lb. line.
    Don't outsmart your common sense!

    I think this year, I am going to try the P-Line CXX X-tra Strong Copolymer in the Flo. Green color. Probably 4 to 6 lb test for my spinning rods.

    I recently purchased some 4 pound "Vicious" line. It performed well on my first outing. It was well behave and I landed that 7 pound bass that I posted a week back on it. I haven't used it enough to really give an opinion but the little I did use it, I liked it.

    Cabelas has a Bulk Service spool of 4lb Gamma hi vis gold, 3300 yrs for half price. This 4lb has a 8.5lb break weight. This is awesome line.

    Cabela's -- GAMMA High Performance Co-Polymer Line - Bulk Spool

    Read the reviews.
