Numbskull, we just got some new green colored Fireline at the shop. I spooled up with 30 lb on a 150 VS and used it in Providence for winter over stripers before it iced over last week. I really liked it and my question is - Is this the same Fireline as the gray stuff only dyed green? This green stuff seemed more supple and slicker than the grey line. The packaging was the same as always. Are you aware of any changes? Thanks, Steve

I've used a newell 229 since I started fishing. Works nice with 65# braid....its a fast reel with no levelwind, casts well, very light, high speed retrieve, and good drag...but they're not for everyone.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
