Mr. Sandman · 10-04-2001, 08:31 PM

I have always used mono, but I have met some folks that praise this salt water spider line as amazing and use it to cast with. The 50# line is coated and they say it has a dia of 17# mono.

I am about to try one spool of it next week. (I doubt I will go 50 30 maybe....)but have any of you tried this stuff. I spoke to one other guy who I saw using it and he said he like it better then mono but the coating wears off and it fays so you need to trim off some from time to time. (I do that with mono because it nicks)

My biggest fear: it does not cast well in the cold.

any comments?
