well I had this almost typed on this post & it disappeared on me, Thanks again Wayne you do look after me man, I was helping a friend restore his 4 Alvey deck winches, & he uses this line for a leeder, but he was not that happy with this spool, as its not as pliable as usual, so I brought it from him for nothing, very generous of me ay, he has been buying it from the Geraldton fishermans co-op. for many years as he was a pro fisherman for a long time, but he stopped when his two sons were just geting into high school, so he could give then that firm hand teenagers some time need. I hope some of the members get some value out of this post, & thanks every one for there comments, cheers Don.

Donny - With the photo and your description, now I think I finally "see" what you were describing (face palm).  The colored mono lines I was thinking about were for either hi-vis visual purposes in low/artificial light conditions OR were of a "metered" variety where "x amount of colors out = y meters of line".  But I can see how if the color changes every 18 inches or so it is wholly as a "camouflage" approach - break up the line to make it more invisible in the water in certain light conditions.  And I can see how the color changes can be quite striking on a spool, kind of like the really talented individuals that use variegated rod wrapping thread to make really striking patterns on rod wraps.  I can see how spooling up a reel would look pretty neat. - john
