Two things....
1. XPS line from BPS sucks. Use Stren.
2. 8# line on an ultra light reel is too big. Switch to 6# and you'll love
it.

I bought a new ultra light weight reel and spooled on some XPS #8
Fluorocarbon, which was brand new. I had the chance try it out last night,
here's what I noticed and don't know if I got good or bad line. I noticed
that it would float on the surface sometimes and coil like a phone cord.
The water temps and air temps were low to mid 50's if this helps any.
