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???


c'mon tom...i aint that frickin dumb. well, maybe...but, i assure
you i wasn't talking about the backing. g


That white line is just some crappy stuff they throw in with their low
end rod/reel packages. Think watch spring with no slickness.

Jeff, the backing should be attached to the reel first, *then* the fly
line (just in case you didn't know.) ;-)
