Bates in Mayflower typically has the 2-lb SOS.

Our local bait shop says they do not sell enough to stock it and requires payment up front to order it . They take no responsibility for brittle warehouse heated line . Walmart has the 2 lb. sos .

As no luck says, the bass guys have convinced everybody they need 60# braid to catch 2# fish.

I don’t know how you guys do it
I tried some 4 lb line this past winter and had a tangled , kinked mess in 2 hours.
Glad my water is stained 99 % of the time , 10 lb line takes a licking and keeps on ticking!

I don’t have any problems with it at all. Lost count of the number of 5-6 pound smallmouth I’ve landed using it. I don’t use it because of water conditions. I use it for the fun factor. Used a lot of different brands of 2# test but never had problems with any I used....just didn’t like some brands for one reason or the other.

The USA is years behind the rest of the world when it comes to ultra light angling.

... and float fishing and fly fishing. (The fly guys are rapidly closing the distance, though.)

As Alphahawk says, it's just a matter of using it and understanding what UL tackle can do.

After you get used to using 2-4# test anything above feels like casting rope, lures are so much easier to work on light line.

I'm making a concerted effort to fish with 4lb line at the moment. Years ago, when I fished smaller lakes in Southern Indiana, I actually fished with 4lb line. When I came down here to Kentucky lake, it was recommended to use at least 6lb line, so I did.

I've just bought two spools of the SOS 2lb line and will try it out very soon. I tried the 2lb Trilene and it's extremely small stuff to work with. I could barely see it when trying to tie my snell knots on my hooks. I tie the traditional snell, not the knockoff versions.
