Confessions of a line ho...

Will the madness ever end?  After spooling a new Citica 100DSV with braid in October, I thought the madness was over.  But nay, it had only just begun.

A quick stroll through the local tackle shop/beauty shop/tire & lube express revealed that they had done some re-stocking over the last few months.  New reels, new rods, new lures...oh, and new lines.

They had the usual stuff.  PLine, Trilene, Stren, BPS Excel...wait, what's this?

Vicious Ultimate...I've heard of this stuff.

Yep, I walked out with a spool of 12 lb. test.  The aforementioned braid has been unceremoniously thrown to the sidewalk.

Such is the life of a line ho... :'(

The packaging doesn't get me, the uncontrollable urge to try something new is what gets me.

You should see my line stash.  Tons of half-full spools abound.  Buy it, try it, move on to the next one.

Thats better than being some bootlickin', brand blinded yahoo, as far as I'm concerned.  If you never change anything you don't know if it can be better or not.  

I have tried other lines, but there is a LOT out there I have not even looked at.  I need to try something different and even though I'm sure what the end results will be I'm going to try some Flouro next season.  Just need to make up my mind on which to try.

I'm pretty sure this is the manufacturing facility that made Stren line when DuPont/Remmington owned Stren. If you liked Stren in years past, this would be a brand of line to try. I know I'll be picking up a spool of mono.

Yo Zuri Hybrid for me! I've tried others... but I always come back to the Hybrid. Some of the best casting and strongest mono line I have ever used.
