Line Recommendations

When you are spooling, do you put any tension on the line as spool, or just
tie it on and crank it?

Thanks,
Jeff

I have been looking with interest at the Cabelas brand lines
specifically the Pro Line. Has anyone used the camo color and or the
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?

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

Hi Dick,

I can't comment on the quality of the Cabela's brand lines, having never
used them. I typically use
PowerPro for 95% of my fishing, with Yo-Zuri Hybrid for the rest. But,
you do have the correct idea
for spooling line. Spool away!

You have to keep tension on the line.
I have used Cabela's ProLine, I found it to be very good..For no reason
I changed to Bass Pro Shop's Excel.. I would not hesitate using Proline
again...





I fish therefore I lie

I found BPS Excel to be too stretchy. Way too much stretch in that line...

The stretch doesn't seem to matter unless your making super long casts
or fishing in deep water..The deepest water I fish is 12ft and I can't
make long casts with my cheap Abu catfish reelsg
