I was at Shangri-La on the south shore of Ouachita last week and on the wall there are two 10lb plus...largemouth--one almost 11 pounds! They came from the same lake.

Now I have never been so fortunate to have a 10 lb (plus) bass, but if I did, I would be cussin' 'til the cows come home if I was usin' spider web for line.

The Fireline braid offers much to a longliner because the diameter is so small in comparison to the actual strength of the line. The only drawback I see is that there is zero stretch and when trolling for papermouths, well, there is a chance that I'll lose one every now and then.

Thanks for posting! <><
