Well after the fourth time I decided to look at my line and it was fraying all over. I am thinking about trying Fireline this spring, does anyone have any issues with Fireline fraying? I tried Spiderwire Super Mono and really liked it. It is a lot thinner than you average mono but I still think I will try the Fireline.
rwilhelm,
Did you use fusion on a spinning reel and what was the #test?
I've had problems with fusion on spinning reels it twists very easily.. worse line to put on a spinning reel. On a conventional it's sweet.. it shoots right out and doesnt burn thumb. I currently use the 80# fusion for COD fishing it's excellent. I used fireline for freshwater trout fishing never had a fraying problem considering all the rocks, stumps and brush in the water.
Dunno if it was just me but that spiderwire super mono is very deceiving.. requiring a spool change every other week.. i've found that saltwater/sun/heavy fish take a serious toll on that line.
I've found Hybrid to be very consistant outing after outing.
