Cajun Red cast 10# line. I posted a while
back on this line, and I'm still impressed with its castability. I never
re-tied,

I used that line some but it seemed to get weak real fast - maybe from being in
the sun on my boat deck. Is yours exposed to the sun much. The spools seem to
weaken, too, but they were in a compartment in my boat and got real hot all
summer.
