Any one have any longterm reports for this line ?
Hows it hold up over time compared to others ? ... Jeff
Seems to hold up was well as anything else. I've had 315 yds of 80# MC on a TranX 500 for three years, 400 yds of 65# on a Saragosa 10k for 2 years and 300 yds of 50# on a BV-300 for 2 years. I have a 300 yd spool of 50# that I'm going to put on an Avet SXJ.
Thanks, Mark. Exactly what I was wanting to know... Jeff
I use it for my inshore spinning gear. It's the best so far. It makes a huge difference when using light tackle.
Have you guys tried Dyneema braided line? I think it's a little bit bigger diameter than regular braid, but is cheeper. I heard it was very strong, but don't know much more. No info from actual anglers? Thanks!

Thank you!
Any tips on who to know when it's time to change it? I have a trinidad 12 with 30lb red Power pro. I'm thinking it has about 100 trips on it. It's stiff when new and it's nice a supple now so it fishes nice. What about just reversing it on the spool?
If it shows signs of abrasion cut some off. Spectra lasts forever.
I like it when it's new and still has some sizing. The casting head gets limp and fuzzy after a while. I used to tie it off to something and pull on the casting head to make sure it is still sound and then reverse it on the spool. Now, I just throw the casting head away and spice in a new casting head. The casting head is less then 50 yards so I get six replacements off a 300 yard spool. This comes out cheaper than reversing the line in the long run.
