Southwestern parts. It is located on Mockingbird and Irving(?) just west of I35. They sell refurbished reels at good prices, they have new stuff (rods & reels) and do a lot of reel cleaning and repairs. Not much in the way of tackle but for the bigger stuff they have a good selection.

I have given up on mono all together. I got tired of "low memory" lines. I pull all mono off my casting reels and went with 15 lb EZ cast braid from spider wire w/ a floro leader bout 18-24 inches long. On my spinning reel I am useing 8lb floro all the way.
