So on the puchase of my new toy, the guy threw in a ton of extra stuff.
A couple of things i recieved are four bulk spools of extra line. One spool is #80 Tuff, another is one of those spools of heavy #100 mono.
My question is the other two. One is Pro-Tac #30 copolymer. Looked it up here and other places, not much around. Heard from one person on the site who said it was crap. Any truth to that? It is a 1800 yard spool about 3/4 full.
The other is a 3000 yard spool of, looks like #30-40, very stiff, black line. It cost $62 at Chilcotin Guns and that is all the info on it. I know Triple Fish and I think Maxima used to make a black line. Not sure what it is. I know I am reaching out here but any ideas? It is about 3/4 full as well and I would hate to throw it out if it is usable. I know I should stick with what works, but I thought I would see what other think or know.
I have tested both on knots and they both seem to be ok, but the true test will be in the water.
I am a Maxima person and have been using it since the eighties and never had any problems that were not the fishermans fault.
Cheers
