Bulk spool is ordered, but hasn't left the vendor yet, chemicals and other supplies are in already. Takes a couple days to make and package the line, so think July 6 is a realistic ship date.

Thanks for all who've asked, sorry if I've failed to reply to all the pms, hope you're not going to be stranded by my delay. Got other colors in the works, will post when they're ready to be seen.

One thing that's popped up is that the usps isn't letting me ship these coils for the price of two stamps anymore, sent some leftover #400 to somebody and it bounced for postage due, so I'm going to have to ask for the princely sum of $11 per 50ft and six crimps.

The paypal email is dralin AT earthlink DOT net. When you pm me, provide an address so I know where to ship, paypal doesn't supply one with gift and debt payments.

Re: Hi Visibility Momoi Shooting Line $10 Shipped

Just to be clear I'm only making up a bulk spool of #250, since the difference from #300 is negligible, and the high-vis #400 is available in 100 yard rolls for $15-20 plus shipping:

http://www.jigstop.com/

http://www.tackletogo.com/mohiouli.html

http://www.alltackle.com/momoi_outrigger_line.htm

http://www.tunafishtackle.com

Chopping it up into six pieces and charging others $66 for it may be good business but I don't feel right about it, rather provide value-added in something not commercially available.

Going in the complete opposite direction, bordering on stupid, I have for your amusement kelp camo line:

Re: Hi Visibility Momoi Shooting Line $10 Shipped

Sweatloaf:

Three weeks ago, I ordered some 100 yards #400 with jigstop.com and they informed me that they lifted my order because they are out of stock and do not know when they will get more from the manufactory. Then I contacted alltackle.com. They are out of 100 yards for #400. Last week I found some 100 yards #400 at tunafishtackle.com. Hopefully, they are not out of stock because I have not heard anything from them after I ordered online.

Just FYI.

Oh hell. This is bad news. I've been too generous about rigging friend's guns with the 400 pound stuff lately. I hope I don't run out.

No worries. If they stop selling it, I'll make it.

It is not actually the momoi, it's an experiment with some cheap lindgren pittman primeline. Looks a little brighter because the primeline is not so transparent, has a milky look to it, and the surface is a lot rougher. Might be better for vis but it is an inferior line.

Two-tone take literally twice the work, but making it was gratifying and fun.

Re: Hi Visibility Momoi Shooting Line $11 Shipped

All the materials are here, will convert the lines over the weekend.

A look at some more colors I've developed. Green as before, a yellow that's actually brighter and less greenish than the momoi original stuff, an orange, and just for Bill Mac, the inspiration for this nutty project, hot pink to color coordinate with his reel line.

The dyes are all "blue fluorescent" meaning that when coupled to polyamides like nylon mono they absorb light from near UV to blue, and re-emit it at a longer wavelength. Seems like a reasonable way to get visibility at depth, where most light available is blue. Green looks cool out of the water on most guns, the yellow is the brightest and most efficient, orange does stand out underwater. Thinking I'll reserve 200 yards clear for later, do 100 yards each of various, and 500 yards of yellow.

250lb only, in 50-foot units with six crimps, $11 shipped. dralin AT earthlink DOT net is the paypal email. I'm making this for my own amusement more than anything else, and need to have some efficiency in handling so as not to cut into recreation and family time. If you want something else custom like 100 continuous yards, 300 or 400, or a two-tone (i.e. no-vis camo amber/olive or other color combos), I'm going to have to be businesslike about it.
