I'm not a purist when it comes to line. I know some people think that 2# should break at 2.1 # and that being said I hate the american braid I've used and don't like the idea that a fish couldn't break my line riding a jet skee . But with all the line I've tried gamma and K-9 are my favorite and money is not a factor. It's limp, small daiameter and very hi-vis, tennis ball hi-vis. For casting open water I go with 2# as it will cast .5 gr. and up great and 4# when dock shooting especialy around the wood posts docks that are prevalent on my home lake. Scott
I'm in the same boat. I go through a lot of line. I've been using Stren Crappie mono but the small spools get annoying because it seems I always waste a good bit because there's not enough to partially spool my reels more than twice. If they'd just sell it in a 330 yard spool, I'd quit looking for something else.Quote:

I’ve made up my mind to give the panfish 2lb hi viz a go. I will keep an eye out for Stren Crappie, which should be coming into stock next month in the usual places. Like others, I wish their filler spool was 330 yds.Quote:

I’ll try it in 2&4 when I can get some and see what happens. I fish some pretty nasty areas for the light line.
Can someone tell me what Gamma’s shipping charges are? I couldn’t find it on their site, and they never responded to the contact message I sent. In fairness, maybe the storm threw their office routine off a bit, but I heard their customer service and response is good.
Thanks,
Bob

Check your jig eyes! Lost a big slab yesterday on the Gamma 2 lb. Fish on, then - nothing. Reeled in to find an intact loop knot that had slipped thru a gap somehow. This was a 1/32 oz hand-tie jig with #6 sickle hook from a CDC member I buy a lot of jigs from. I'll be checking them all today. Hated to lose that particular jig because I have caught over 10 fish with it: red head, fool's gold new age chenille, chartreuse hackle.
