ChickenWilly Extreme Angler Registered: 04/04/07 Posts: 1373 Loc: Plano, Tx	I have Cajun line on all my reels! I have 4lb on my spinning gear and it is some stout stuff! I got some P-line in a couple different sizes and didnt like it. It seemed like I could spool up at the house and head out fishin and it would be coiled up already by the time I got there like it had been on my reel for a year!

Its not a quality line BUT for the price, buy it in a bulk spool 1800 - 3000 yards and you can respool your gear with FRESH line before every tournament! _________________________ "A common man that moves toward a center would be in search of a comfort zone, whereas a better man moves toward an edge to search the horizon and wonder of the possibilities.

CoAngler Pro Angler Registered: 04/06/11 Posts: 647 Loc: Killeen, TX	Here's the deal. Mono deteriorates rapidly due to UV and heat. So if you will buy the big spool, 1500yrds. you will have less memory and enough line to respool your reels before each time you hit the water. You cn't beat this bang for buck if you undrstand the principls of physics! _________________________ "A common man that moves toward a center would be in search of a comfort zone, whereas a better man moves toward an edge to search the horizon and wonder of the possibilities.

Ban-D TFF Team Angler Registered: 02/08/10 Posts: 3193 Loc: TX	Big game for price mccoys mean green for strongest hands down. I can't believe someone really likes cajun line I used it once after breaking a good fish off I said o must have a fray then I hell another off it was 15lb I think and the worst line I've ever used next to berkly trans optic and vanish. As for your p- line problem what line was it? If was fluoro coated that's why it was kinking on your spinning gear. I've used p line a lot and its a good line no problems on a baitcaster pulled up a Christmas tree with cinder block and a crankbait with some 10lb. _________________________

Best mono EVER made. _________________________ "Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out" - Zachary Troy Schrah - a young man with vision far beyond his years.

AuburnTiger Bassin34 Outdoorsman Registered: 01/21/12 Posts: 182 Loc: Diamondhead, MS	Berkley XT and Big Game. Used to love Stren Super Tough. Finally decidede to try Berkley 100% flourocarbon. So far so good and yes wet your line before pulling knot. Trilene knot seems best. _________________________
