i haven't looked at the catalog. cabelas isn't my preferred catalog since
the time i bought wading boots and they sent me one size 10 and one size
11 boot. but, if the prestige plus is the white line sent with the
economy combo package, it's junk. have you tried it? it's not "good
enough" unless a bad line is acceptable. and trust me, my standards in ff
stuff aint too high.

Cabela's is not my preferred of catalogs either, but I do get them....
You can also visit the Cabela's Website to view the different Prestige lines
if you don't get
their fly-fishing catalogs. btw: I didn't see a Prestige (white) line,
perhaps you're speaking of
the backing??? As I said I believe Cortland makes their lines.
I have yet to find a WF line that one couldn't cast good loops with. The
Prestidge Plus
line should be good enough for starters. Then if the angler decides they
enjoy fly-fishing, they may
want to upgade.

Here's the link to the Cabela's Prestige Lines:
