I think I may have screwed up today.  I bought a roll of 50 lb BPS Premium Excel braided line.  When I was spooling it on my reel I noticed that it seemed to have almost as much memory as the cheap 20lb mono that I put on the reel as a backer.  In addition, I ended up with line dye all over my hands.

For those of you who have used this product, will the memory and dye problem go away after the line gets wet a couple of times, or should I strip it off the reel and add it to my list of crap not to buy in the future?

The excess dye will bleed out after a trip or two.

First time I fished new braid (P-Line Spectrex IV) last year, my hands, reel, and rod cork were green.  Not to mention my shirt and shorts.

Didn't have any dye bleed the next time out.

no braid has memory.it's a coating that will wear off.

Fish it and it will get better. You should be good on braid for a while.

All braid is made in the same building, only thing different is coating/dye. Fireline isnt a braid. At least that is what i was told by several people in the know, last time i bought alot of braid, few years ago.

This may have changed.

I remember getting some spiderwire in the past that had alot of memory at first. I got like 500 yards of Remington braid at walmart once for $5 i think. It was almost Identical to the powerpro i was using at them time. That stuff lasted forever and i fish 200 or so days a year.
