Man o man that was allot to take in but I am all ears. Out in open water I have had a couple of nice large fish in the boat but up against the rocks and back in the bush it gets crazy sometimes with 2lb. anything. At Lake Powell Utah I have caught allot of brown fish on 2lb. line because we were out in the middle of a large flat with no obstructions. I have never herd of SOS line but I sure will get on the web and order some soon just to try it out. Thanks for the information.
