dam0007 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I've loved XT for salt, but what you just said is exactly how I felt about "Tough Red" 17#. Something they did to make the color f'd the line up.

tugsandpulls Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 im gonna stock up the old xl just incase
fishking247 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 what was it? the XL armor coated? i recently just bought some XL and they now have it in a different package.
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 26, 2012 Super User Posted November 26, 2012 Maybe it's time to try something else. For spinning tackle I recommend Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 (11.9 lb breaking strength).

upnorthbassin Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe it's time to try something else. For spinning tackle I recommend Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 (11.9 lb breaking strength). I've been using the 6# on some spinning reels and I recommend it. I like trying new things but changing out this line is on the back burner because I really don't see much competition out there that looks that tempting when strength/price/manageability are all factored in. It's top notch in the first 2 categories and does pretty well in manageabilty overall too...especially the 6#. Even the 12# which I've spooled some of my casting reels with is pretty manageable too especially when compared to a lot of fc stuff out there.

bassin is addicting Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 i was a trilene user until i tried the yo-zuri ultra-soft recommended here.. since i can't find it anywhere around here and TW doesn't carry the 6lb i went with the 8lb and i use the KVD line conditioner....and am very happy... in fact i just ordered another 600yds when they had the 20% off. try it...i think you'll like it...

I smile when I read recommendations of products that are "best"... after a series of modifications are performed! oe
Super User J Francho Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 Using KVD Line & Lure is more like keeping your bearings oiled and your gears greased. It's a maintenance product. I love my Bullet, and I think it's the best boat for me. Doesn't stop me from wiping it down with BTS.
bassin is addicting Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 oe "series of modifications"? it's a one step process...and i use line conditioner on all my lines....simply put........ it works.. fyi..i also change the treble hooks on most of my crankbaits.....guess i am a "modification" freak??
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 I suspect I made the point I was attempting to make. oe
Super User J Francho Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 This has run it's course.
