Mono Quality?
Been buying a cheapo 400lb test 100yard for $20 deal on amazon..
I like to re-rig mono almost every trip.. so I went for the cheap bulk pack. Now I'm wondering if this is coming back to bite me. Do you get what you pay for with mono? Do you pay the premium to buy from spearfishing outlets, or do you buy bulk line elsewhere? I've lost a few shafts to fish that were much too small.. abrasion resistance against those rigs seems to be about nil! I do smooth contact areas on shaft, so that's not the issue. |

Re: Mono Quality?
This stuff makes mono feel worthless on the rigs

Haha, I was waiting for you guys to chime in I've got some of that line on one gun as reel line, still using mono for my shooting wraps though. I saw you've got neon green.. gonna have to get some from you, but it's gonna take close to $100 to fill my Ulu bluewater reel! My buddy in Europe laughs at me for using Mono. He's a dyneema shooting line guy. I'm just not sure. Tangle concerns mostly. |

Re: Mono Quality?
I have been using this brand for years momoi mono, has held fine on the rigs, i have never lost a shaft or a fish due to breakage.. i tried spectra but still feel mono holds up better on rigs ..
