Default Winding down. . .


riverman I dunno about SA. I have SA lines on all three of my reels,
riverman and they have horriffic memories! I've tried stretching
riverman them, heating them, letting them hang loose for
riverman months....nothing.

I've got SA Trout, GPX, XPS, both old and new coating, and no
noticeable problems so far. I use only large-arbor reels - Roger's
bringing you one to NZ, right? - and spool the lines onto their
original containers for winter months (and no, it's not the largest
part of the year over here).

But it might be that once it gets spoiled, the memory remains. :-)

The memory thing, by the way, is one argument that some people use to
argue against the double lifetime of DT lines: that you couldn't
reverse the line anyway because the last part of the line is in such a
terrible shape after it has been spooled onto the reel for such a long
time. But my DT lines are ready to be reversed any day.
