Basscook Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I am still new to bass fishing, but I am really comfortable with spiderwire EZ mono. However, this year, I have not been able to find it anywhere in a green tint. I also picked up some Ultimate-Mono from them and see that it is only available in clear. (The EZ I picked up was clear/blue) 99.9% of my fishing is done at Normandy Dam, Tims Ford, and Bedford Lake in Tennessee. The water is fairly clear, but with a green tint that seems to get greener as the days get longer. I have ready that clear, can actaully refract light and be more visible than tinted lines. I am assuming that the same would be true for the blue/clear lines. I usually fish with 6lb on my spinning reals , and 12lb on my baitcaster. My quandery is this: Is Spiderwire about to go under, or get out of the mono market? I really liked EZ, the box states that it is a co-polymer. What would be similar. Thanks, Quote
BassinB Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I think P-Line comes in green tint. Also a pretty good copoly that I've used Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted March 12, 2013 Super User Posted March 12, 2013 Everywhere I've looked it's out of green. Wonder if its be discontinued. Might email the company and ask. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted March 12, 2013 Super User Posted March 12, 2013 I believe its on sale at walmart. I know they have ez mono for like 4$ on an end cap. Quote
Basscook Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I did actually e-mail them, and they just replied with a short answer saying that EZ is available in Lo-Vis Green. All the sporting good places near me are out of Lo-Vis, Oh Well. Quote
Basscook Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Is this line any good? Well. I like it. It is a co-polymer and seems to fish a little deeper than regular mono. It doesn't coil up on me as bad as some other monos I have used. (But it isn't perfect). I don't fish the hi-dollar stuff, so if you are comparing it to Trilene, or Stren, I personally prefer it. I am not sure how it would rank agaisnt the expensve stuff. Everything is relative. Quote

BassinB Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks BassinB, I'm going to give this PLine a try, No problem. The CX is a little more light weight but it is more manageable on the spool, and the CXX is a heavier duty line with more memory. I use the CX for crankbaits and the CXX for flipping. I haven't had issues with either. 1 Quote
