    If you like the Vischious get it from Monks or Grizzly jig. That Mr Crappie from China is junk. Had 2 spools and threw it away. Same problem,after it sits on spool for awhile it takes a set you can't get out. Has nothing to do with how it is wound on. Had the same problem on bait casters. Got some of the original made in USA that dosnt do it.

    after spooling up with new line,tie off end and walk back about half a spool and stretch new line,good time to set drag,lay rod down and walk back and untie before winding in.

    Regardless of the line's other characteristics, if you're casting jigs, low-vis line is not a good choice. You want to be able to see the line and watch for the twitch, tick, or sag that's the earliest (and sometimes the only) indication of a hit.
