I used it for years and worked just fine for me. SOS line by Trout magnet is also a decent line. I now use Vicious panfish line which can be found at most Walmarts.
Yup no issues with line. I do think there are better though.
The original Mr Crappie line I used to use (4# test) was some seriously strong line. I have a spool of the "newer" make and it don't seem to be quite the same (Taiwan made). But, I'm currently using Vicious hi-viz 6#, and have been for many years now. I like it better than most all the other brands I've used over the years.
A 1/4lb spool (2360yds) of Vicious Hi-viz 6# test is $8.50 at WallyMart.
I'm still only 2/3 of the way thru my first 1/4lb spool of 6# Vicious, and have another 1/4lb spool backup. I'm not sure where the one spool was made, as it doesn't say on the label, but the new spool says it's made in India. (if that makes a difference)
When I’m not using braid I have Gamma Panfish on. Best I’ve found.
Gamma is a very good line. Tests higher than what the box says. For the very best Varvias is the ticket!Quote:

I have tried lots of lines but always go back to Stren in 8lb test .
Sufix Elite has been my go to

Mr Crappie hi vis is great line. Its cheap enough to replace often also. Maybe try some Crappie Maxx in Camo. This line is a Bass Pro/Cabelas line. Dont let the name fool you. It is Hi Vis but every 3rd foot is clear to tye with if you choose. Its my go to for Shellies. It may go a little longer without building memory.

I run the 8 lb clear Mr crappie on my river rod , it works quite well , memory is minimal and the strength is quite memorable .
Upside is I burn thru line at a pace most could not imagine and it isn’t painful to buy …
3 trips and mine is coming off.Quote:

Lost me , why would you do that ? Mine runs several weeks and gets hammered almost daily , it gets replaced most of the time because the spool is getting low and needs to be full , to make them way out yonder castsQuote:
