I've tried lots of different brands and
types of fishing lines over the years
for different purposes and styles of
fishing. Tried the old dacron and the
stiff monofilaments from the early
1970's and the then new Stren and
Spider Wire, and finally settled on
Trilene Big Game some time back.
I haven't had to buy any line for a
very long time because way back
when I bought the big spools of
Trilene and really didn't need any
for a long time. I did have to buy
some light test weight line the other
day, and I was really surprised at
how high quality of line can be
had for very little money.
Way back when, decent line was
pretty expensive relatively speaking.
I need to add I've never bought any
of the fluorocarbon line and
don't intend to.
I bought a medium spool of line
for about 2 dollars. 700 yards
Still have several 3000 yard spools
of the heavier weight lines.
I guess they haven't figured a way to
create a shortage of fishing line and
initiate a panic buying spree, or maybe
they just haven't gotten a roundtuit yet
