Those who know dont say... Those who say dont know ?

Im beginning to hate its stiff characteristics, (mind you im using 15lb spiderwire ez-braid) I took it off my BFS baitcasting reel Piscifun spark pro model even though its diameter is equivalent of 4lb mono it casts terribly anything weighing under/less than 3gm's My spool bought at wally world was not too expensive however (1st foul) was missing 150' of line (somebody pulled a fast one) secondly its stiff, thirdly coated in some sort of waxy substance which leaves a green film on my fingers and causes friction and hang ups when casting and during retrival, you can feel and hear the catching then releasing. I just spooled up my sons zebco (33) spincast with it. After spooling with 150 ft of 15lb spiderwire ez-braid its almost impossible to get it to flow out of the reel opening totally binding up on its way out of the front of the zebco spincast (was spooled with 12lb 'cajun' mono which worked wonderfully) im completely disappointed in its performance on my baitcaster but now also on the spincaster... I think spiderwire is crap, its only redeeming quality is its strength. Change my mind somebody, I wanna believe the hype.

I just use a 1/4"x1/4" piece of scotch tape to hold my 4# mono Trilene XL in place(Kastking Zephyr reel), works well until you run all the line out on that BFS shallow spool... I do my best to not do that.......?

That is why I use Berkley trilene XL 4 lb mono, it is extremely pliable, the XL designation is for extra long casting. Knots do not come undone easy because it has very low memory. It casts well if you have nice ceramic guides on your baitcasting rod. My BFS setup is Kastking Zephyr reel loaded with 40 yd of the trilene XL 4 lb mono. I think the rod is as important as the real it all has to work in unison, I have gone through four rods before I found a great one for the reel and the line combination that I'm using. Sougayilang PAE602UL is the rod that I found that will allow me to cast 1/10oz 100ft using the shallow spool zephyr and 4lb test ? I'm new to BFS and as time goes on I hope to get very accurate so I can pull trout out of tight places... Blessings and Aloha from Michigan

My experience is they like current and set up where the food comes to them and where they dont have to continuously swim for it , they seem like opportunistic ambush predators.

Just saying howdy do from lower Western Michigan blessings and aloha
