powerman970 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I know what I like but I don't know why. I am interested in finding out if anyone else in here uses Cajun Red fishing line. I use it and like it but it seems like it is never mentioned on this forum. Has anyone else in here tried it and if so what did you like or dislike about it? Quote
Mike-in-WV Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Actually we just discuessed this a few days ago, well maybe a week ago. Anyway there are several of us who love the stuff. I like the #17 Cajun Red casting on my casting reels and #12 on my spinning reel. Never have tried there lightening line but others have told me it's not near as good as the casting line. Mike Quote
GitRDoneIke23 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I think it's junk!!! It's too wirey (is that a word?) for me. JMO Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Actually it has been discussed quit a few times over the last year.Quit a few people seem to like the red cast. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 I think it's junk!!! It's too wirey (is that a word?) for me. JMO as i have said before,if you think it's wirey you purchased red lightning and not red cast.red cast is the most manageable best casting mono made imho. Quote
fishbear Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I use Cajun red for my casting rods that i use for topwater, and any lure that I want to give that fish the 3 count before crossing their eyes. It helps with the stretch in the mono, because sometimes I am quick on the trigger, lol..... Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I spooled up one of my baitcasters with it last year, and it looks really cool. After the trip I took it all off because I don't like it. Wiry and stretchy. I still have it spooled on all of my spinning reels....as backing. It does a pretty good job at that 8-) Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 does any one know where you can buy a 1/4lb spool of the cast. I can only ever find it in the 300yd spools. I have been using the lightning and it just doesn't work well on my spinning reel. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 as i have said before,if you think it's wirey you purchased red lightning and not red cast.red cast is the most manageable best casting mono made imho. dodgeguy has been fishing this line for some time and has consistantly posted very positive comments. If you decide to give it a try, be sure to buy "Red Cast" as he has suggested. This is the line dodgeguy specifically recommends so it is very important that you buy this line and not the other. 8-) Quote
Mike-in-WV Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 These threads are kind of funny because no matter what line you ask about someone is going to love it and someone is going to hate it. One person will say it's to stiff and stretches or cast bad, others will say it has no stretch, not stiff and cast great!, ;D Mike Quote

powerman970 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 Oh well....I guess that is why there are so many lines on the market. I am using the "cast" and I love it. I just wondered what you guys thought. Thanks for the input it actually went about the way I expected. Some love it, some hate it. Quote
Mike-in-WV Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 does any one know where you can buy a 1/4lb spool of the cast. I can only ever find it in the 300yd spools. I have been using the lightning and it just doesn't work well on my spinning reel. Don't know if they make a smaller spool than 300 yards. It's less than $5.00 at Walmart. If you don't like it use it for backup or give it away Mike Quote
Mike-in-WV Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Gotta tell you guy's, the more I use this Cajun Red Cast the more I love it! After about a month I decided to re-spool with it today even though it probably didn't need it. As soon as I spooled I went out back and gave a try. Beautiful long flawless cast with 1/2 oz. spoon and #17 test. LOVE IT !!! To you guys who don't like it! :) Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted March 7, 2008 Super User Posted March 7, 2008 cabela's has 1/4 pound and 1 pound spools. Quote
Guest muddy Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Cabelas pro line is far better then the Cajun Red Cast, it's all I use. I use to spool with Stren but there is no differnce in performace between Cabela's Pro Line and Stren I have used all 3 lines and for me Cajun Red Cast was a huge dissapointment Quote

It's not expensive, It cast grate for me, it's defiantly strong, no problem tying knots even with the #17 stuff. It sure doesn't seem to have any bad memories. I just don't know what more you could ask for in casting line. Mike Quote
Guest muddy Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I used the 12 # when I was new to bait casting. I figured it was because I was new or the spool was old. I bought a new spool and had one trion loaded with the Cast the other with pro line. The cast was stiffer, had major memory issues and the other rig just cast better. The reels were identical and they were both on the same Fenwick rod. The only difference was the line. I am just more satisifed with the Pro Line Quote
Guest muddy Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 PS AT MY AGE I HAVE WORSE MEMORY ISSUES THAN ANY BRAND LINE Quote
Fish Man Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 i cant get past the whole red line disapearing thing, thats why i wont ever use it, for the water i fish id rather use a clear or green colored line that will blend in Quote
Mike-in-WV Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 PS AT MY AGE I HAVE WORSE MEMORY ISSUES THAN ANY BRAND LINE Lol, I know the feeling! When I run out of this Cajan Red I'll give the Pro-line a try. Thanks for the info. Mike Quote
