Hi Vis line choices

[footballcoach]

I have tried the cheap stuff and I got what I paid for. Mr. Crappie and crappie max are terrible. Cajun Red is tough but has as much memory as fence wire. I used it mostly for long lining because it was cheap but it is still awful. I have gone back to stren or suffix. and I like them 100 times better than that junk.

+1 for Sufix. I like the 6# hi-vis yellow.

Where are you guys getting Slime line? All I can find on eBay is big spools.

Amazon has it, but it only has two reviews, and they are not good. It's on grizzly baits also. Bote places have 325 yrds, for $ 11.95.

Actually like anything else these days I wonder how many of these different brands of lines actually are made in the same factories and the labels changed for the "different brands" and the colors may be just a dye change in the line.

I do know that years ago I worked for a company that made a popular higher priced National brand "sandwich bags" and we also ran several private label brands as well. I can say for a fact the only difference in the private brand in this product was a removal of some dye colors and the retail box they were packaged in. Otherwise the product was identical in specs and the private label product sold for about 1/2 the cost of the National branded product.

With all the different smaller brands of "specialty" fishing line being marketed it would surprise me if a fair number of those were not the same product with different labels or packaging.

I am sure that the machinery cost to produce and run these fishing lines is not inexpensive so having a factory making multiple branded items would seem logical. Same goes with fishing reels, rods, lawn mowers whatever, most private branded stuff is contracted out.

I know that say years ago a Sears Craftsmen generator was just a Generac with Craftsman decals as another example. I bet a lot of these fishing lines we compare are the same things as well when it comes to non national types of brands other than Berkley or Stren and the likes.
