J.Bass Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Its coming up! I'm going for a phflueger president on sale for 49.99 with reel trade in can get for 39.99. I need a light set up and love this reel own a heavier reel of this. My question is the BPS Monofilament line good to buy? Whats the best Mono line brand? Im looking for strong mono line with a backbone. Will be fishing for smallmouth in rocky rivers. Quote
Cgrinder Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 If I must use mono on a spinning reel, I use Sufix Elite or Stren original. I think you should check out the Bass Pro XPS fluoro, but that's sort of outside the scope of your question. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 They will fill your reel with BPS mono for free. If you find you don't like it you can buy something different. Hootie 1 Quote
cbass12 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I've used the BPS Excel mono for as long as I can remember. Works fine and is pretty cheap when they have the buy 2 get 1 free sale. Quote
daiwaguy Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 The Stren is on sale 660yds for 5 bucks. Check it out. Quote

Hootie To me this is the best answer. If you're not sure what to spool up with, just try out the BPS mono for zilch, nada. I did this for one of my spinning reels years ago. Since then I now use braid for everything, then tie on a leader. But I'd go with Hootie's recommendation. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 How do you know its coming and how do you know the already sale price of the reel? I see nothing on the website.. Quote

I was just trying to save money by going cheaper. Was wondering if this line is as good or close to sufix mono line. Quote

Hootie I bought two spinning reels at BPS last spring,i asked how much theyd charge to put mono on them.He told me a set price?never neationed about doing it for free? What he wanted to charge me,i could have bought a big spool,so i did. I dont know why they tryed to charge me. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 24, 2014 Super User Posted February 24, 2014 Someone messed up. If you come into BPS in Cincinnati and buy a dozen reels, you'll get free line on a dozen reels. Hootie Quote
