Default Line Recommendations

Hi,

I don't know about the cameo brand from Cabela's. But they are a name
that can be trusted. Like one of the guys said earlier, PowerPro. I
use the 20 lb test with a 6 lb diameter. I chose the 20 lb over the
30 because I like to extend the fight. Sometimes even getting the
drag involved.

Fishing line is a personal choice. You may have to try various styles
and manufactors before you find one that's right for you.

About putting line on a spinning reel, I use the Berkley system that
goes for about 20 bucks. Even still you have to watch the line
because you could be putting it on backwards. I think regardless of
the method you use, you'll have to watch how the line comes off. The
tip Dale gave is a great one, I use it too. It'll keep the light
tight against the spool which is what you want.

I hope this helps!

Scott

I have been looking with interest at the Cabelas brand lines

root beer? Comments on the quality of the line?

Would appreciate advice on the proper way to spool new line on a
spinning reel. I don't own a line spooler so I will have to do it the
old-fashioned way. I have done some research on the subject and the
latest I found was to place the spool on the floor with the label up.
Crank a few feet onto the reel - if it kinks up, turn the spool over.
Is that correct?


Hi all, all of my spinning reels spool up fine if I put the new roll
of line on the floor so the line comes off counter clockwise. I don't
pay any attention to the lable because if I put the lable up half of
the rolls of line I have the line comes off clockwise.

I put just a little tension on the line by running the line through my
index finger and thumb.

Hope this helps, Dale

Any help would certainly be appreciated as I am getting ready for hard
water fishing.

Thanks,

Dick
