Just exactly what do you expect for 14.95?
I figured it was discounted from a higher price because there isn't
much call for a Tarpon type line in Couer d'Alene. I've tried to
discover the list price for this line, and I've failed. Cabellas
doesn't cary it. I can't find a Fenwick home page, Google gives me
lots of stuff, but nobody is selling this Sea Taper line now. The
current World Class lines are a different color, like Kevin's line, and
they cost $40 or more, putting them in a price range that's not crap.
If you want the absolute best, then you have to pay the price.
You're right, but this is so far from "the absolute best" that I'm
amazed.
You can fish, and enjoy yourself, with a load of old cheap crap, but
you
will probably enjoy yourself more with really good gear. Itīs a
personal
thing. Nobody else can really tell you much about it.
I'm with you there, I fell to the lure of a bargain. The only reason
I'm posting here is in an attempt to find out if the line is as bad as
I think, or if I just got a lemon and should be looking for better. I
think Peter has answered that question, and the line will just go into
the trash.
( I thought I might have a lot more to say about this, but I had
another
drink instead, and decided to go to bed).
Now, that was a kindness!
