    Default 35 lb GuideLine Running Line

    Thinking about switching over from the Rio Powerflex Core .035 Shooting Line. The line I have now isn't a bad line and does the job, it just seems so big compared to others I've seen. Not to mention it coils up constantly. Thoughts on this?

    Default Slickness

    Coiling is a pain for sure...what I now use is the Snowbee running line(30lb),high vis yellow...and I really like it...and the Guideline lines are as nice...we will have some coming to our shop soon...have used them all except their new One....
    Having used Amnesia and other Mony type lines over the years they certainly shoot good but there is a lot of negatives and I am willing to forgo a bit of distance for consistancy. The Ridgeline is also a neat idea...

    Fish Finder, have you tried Monic running line? I have heard great things about it from more experienced speycasters such as it's "shootability". I believe it is no stretch with excellent factory loops. Sounds like a great investment.

    Default Braids...ouch

    Man...I too use braid on some lines and have decided to not use them any more...they are very slick and have no memory but cut the skin too much. Recently I sent some Sharkskin to Scotland and had a chance to play with it...too similar to the feel of braid for me.
