Question for ya

[JohnR]

Yesterday for the first time in 5 years, I had a reel spooled. I always buy spools of line (usually get the 1pounders from Mike) and spool myself but yesterday I had no line in the right size. I stopped by a tackle shop that I wanted to try out as it was new to me to pick up some small jig heads and line and generally hunt around. The fellowing running the shop had not received his line spools in and didn't have anything in the right sizes available so he offered to spool it with 10 pound. I pretty much assumed it would be about $6 as the last time I filled a reel was 5 years ago, a 8500SS Penn with 20 pound Big Game for about 10-11 bucks. I think I have just about always lined my sppols myself and maybe had it done a half dozen times my entire life. Anyway, I was suprised when it cost $10 bucks to fill that reel with 10# Big Game... Is that a typical price? Probaly 230 yards of line?

Thanks,

John
