Talked to the Rep at the Springfield show. He said it was as "Close to Whiplash as they could get" I told him to just bring Whiplash back....he was not listening! Kinda rude...more concerned with getting his water than talking about the product.

I loved Whiplash! Does the new stuff have a similar diameter to the old Whiplash or is it a little bigger since it's rounder?

The rep for pure fishing is a great guy . I think he is a little fed up with the company.
They want him to keep the same $$ amount in his territory but shops are shutting down. #^&#^&#^&#^&s Sports ,Bass Pro and others are opening up which does not count for his $$ totals. The company is not what it use to be, along with many others.

Never under stood this love affar with whiplash.i tried it i found it to have half the abrasion resistence of fire line in fact it has a bout the same reisitence as power pro which i never considered very good Either.Seems Power Pro Is the line of choice cause it is so readily available.Like Pete G i live in fear the will do away with fireline.

I'm going back to 30# Fireline in the surf this year for all the reasons I love 14# on my light tackle gear in the boat. It's just ridiculously strong, tough, and well behaved. I think it's the layout of the fibers. On Power Pro and many others it's clearly a braid, with Fireline the fibers run lengthwise and I think that's where the abrasion resistance comes from. I heard at some point that Fireline is in fact extruded, but I can't remember where.
I'll also second the idea the Power Pro is a favorite mostly due to availability. It's rare to find a shop that carries all 3 Firelines if they carry it at all. |

Will you fish Fireline in the rocks? I lost confidence in braid in the rocks last year. |
