Thanks for putting this up but I guess west coast lines don't count? Like Izorline the first US manufacture to bring Spectra to fishing, also they make mono, co-polymer and fluoro lines, Jerry Brown's Line One, Soft Steel Ultra just to name the most used here in So Cal.

I understand no one can test all lines but to leave the whole other side of the US not represented when manufactures from outside the US make the list just does not seem right to me.

Agreed . . . But, at least it's another source of info.

Besides the line info. Go deeper into Mel's Place & see the History & pictures of the old Head Boats starting in the 1900's. Mel is part of the Crew on the Voyager from Pt. Pleasant N.J.
