I have an abu garcia 5600 plus that was given me by a neighbor to clean up and spool to see if worked and fishable Took it apart, cleaned and lubed as much as i could, spooled with some original stren mono and took it to a local point a. Stren monofilament is more expensive, but does the quality reflect the price, or is the big game better I'm going to buy a bulk spool of one of these for all around stuff Which should i go with? I was using berkley trilene xl smooth casting on all of my reels but then heard a lot of good things about stren original (purple label) and i purchased a few different spools in the green color, and love it now
I find it seems to tie up better, and it handles better Just my take on it though. Looks like pure fishing finally discontinued it Fortunately, i discovered sunline super natural last year & it actually held up somewhat better than the stren through the season Still, stren is mostly what i've used since childhood Even though i've found a similar, & indeed superior pr.
But i've stopped using those brands For the past 3 years i have gained complete confidence in stren I think in the bass fishing world and industry, it is overlooked in under. I don't really have a question But my head is swimming a bit Pure fishing owns abu garcia, mitchell, fenwick, berkley, stren, spiderwire, among others
Shakespeare owns all star, pflueger, penn, among others By papajoe222 july 23, 2017 in fishing rods, reels, line, and knots Stren was way more consistent and broke at about 14.5lb each time The big game was the opposite The lowest it broke at was 8.5lb, but also broke at almost 16 Another thing that i noticed was that the stren stretched a good amount more than big game
Stren original is one of the more stretchy lines on the market Otherwise, nothing outstanding about the line that comes to mind, except if you are a line watcher, they make sensation in a tangerine orange color which is kind of cool. I fished stren most of my life, use trilene for backup reels/rods cuz it is cheap I loved the megathin i used and was very high on that Still good line but i finally wanted to try something new and found some sufix elite onsale.
