Thread: Spinning Reel Line

Looking to respool my ultra light spinning reels for an up coming trip to Guntersville.

Need line that will permit long casts and will not kink up. Will need it in a 4 to 6lb test.

I have tried the spider wire and do not like it. Want to go to mono.

I've tried alot of different lines over the years on my ultralites but I have come back to Stren floursent. Can't beat it.

I'm with Sawman53 Stren line is very good.

Zebco omniflex @ wal mart, 2.97$ for 700 yds. Try it before you nock it cause you will be suprised at the performance of a cheap line.

Bass Pro Shop has a cheap line called Excel, some bass fishermen got me hooked on that stuff years ago, you can get 1000 yards for less than $10, and to me (and them) it's as good as Stren.

I have heard about and seen the Omni-flex but haven't tried it, Corky

In another thread on CC.com a guy talks about the Excel line going downhill, it's now being made somewhere else and he says it's really springy now not real supple like it was before. Glad I still have some old stock left.

Yes, I've taken care of this line, had it in a dark closet never let it get over 75 degrees. They say old line will go bad, but not in this case, it's almost 10 years old. But I have some more I bought this year, and I can't tell any difference. I notice fishing a minnow in current under a float it has a tendency to twist, but any line can do it.

this is what i use on all my rods. i went the hi$$$$$ route but tried this on a whim and found it to be just as good or better that most other lines for half the cost

I'm with the Stren

offshore angler in 4 pound. You want believe how strong and cheap it is. Bass Pro has it. Just wind it up and then walk it back off and it will ellimanate the line twist[mostly].
