Just picked up 1500 yds of WM hi vis 6lb. loading spinning reels,but any way I turn the spool it does nothing but kink. Does this line have a bad memory problem. should it come off the spool w/lable up like any other line or down.thought about sprayin the spool with reel magic. anyone else had this trouble? thanks ahead of time for any input!
Thats the reason I dont use it, it seemed springy to me. I like the vicious. Most spinning reels wind CCW, make sure the line comes off the spool CCW. Dont worry bout the label
I have been using it, the hi vis and the camo, and I have had zero issues out of it. I will be replacing it with the same stuff when the time comes.
I had nothing with bad luck with mr crappie line. Memory was terrible on the spools I had. I recently threw all my spools away and now use viscious and like it very well.

Used MR CRAPPIE line for years never had a prob. the guys that have used it and had issues were spooling their reels wrong,the only reason i am not using it cause i couldnt
Never had prob with mr. crappie line,switched to vicous cause its made in the USA.Lots of folks that had problems were spooling their reels improperly.
I recently changed to the P-Line hi viz, and its great string. A bit pricier than some , but it holds its color better than any I've used, and I haven't had a single failure. Haven't had an issue with the memory either

I might have to try that Ande and see what's it's all about. I used Stren clear blue and magna thin all my life.It's time for me to re-spool all my reels. Where can you find that Ande at a great price?
Google it. Should find a deal at Amazon or EBay or some place like that.Quote:

Powerpro hi-vis yella for me. Use it about everywhere. Love it and the feeling I get from a thump with it.
Just found the P-Line CXX Hi Viz Florescent 12lb online for 60.49 for 3000 yds. That's the one I use. It's the Xtra strong copolymer.

I use Wally's stuff and don't have a problem. I love the hi-viz 6lb test stuff.
What I have found over time is that if you don't fish very often, all line will twist up on you. In the heat, and sitting on that spool, there's no way not to retain some memory. Real Magic works good to help, but I believe it just needs to get used to stay limber. Ever notice when you end up cutting some line off, the new line has that memory till it gets used a little. And I found snagging you line on something, pulling on it, helps get that memory out too. I noticed that when dock shooting. After one snag, the line gets nice and smooth! lol
Oh, I'm editing this thread. No need to get nasty to our sponsors. Please remember, they help support the site. Constructive criticism is fine, but keep your emotions out of it please.
I too have been using the hi-vis for several years and have never had a problem with it.
I have not tried out the new Mr. Crappie line yet. The old stuff that BPS had I used for years no problems....Also the Crappie Max at BPS is the same as the old WM product. The Cabelas Pro-Line high vis yellow is good stuff too.
Used it, cut it all off and replaced it, didn't like fishing with "slinky" line. Use BBG Solar Green now.

Did not care for it myself.
You can get Ande at captain Harry's in Miami FL. They got a website.
The problem I had with the cheaper lines is that they don't hold their color very well. They also aren't as bright as the better name brands. I've got a spool of 10lb WM that someone can have if ya like it tho. I think it started as a 1500 yard spool. I just ordered a 3000 yd spool of the P-Line CXX Hi Viz Florescent in 12lb test. It's a copolymer and has a smaller diameter than the lb test rating.
