Got Some Braided Line - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wow I was dollar sign happy. I meant $18 per 100 yards. 300 yards on the Penn 555 and 250 on the spinning reel.

Yikes! I always try to support the local tackle shops but $18 per 100 yds is pretty pricey. I paid $27 for 300 yds of Berkley 65# cabo white spectra at a tackle store in Huntington Beach. I was a little unsure about the white also, but it's worked great so far.

Hmmm,

I'm paying 12 bucks per 100 yrds of 65 lb. JB spectra up at Noah's. Customer service is great too. They even have the hollow core for a few bucks more... Good to hear the water is clearing up, be back out soon..

If you fish on the boats, you may find that fishing green line is hard because the line is so difficult to see in relation to the other lines. I have removed all of my green powerpro from my short top shot rigs. I don't like fishing with it or fishing next to anybody that is using it.

If the white bothers you, just color the end 8 feet or so with a Sharpie marker. It doesn't damage the line, but does wear off after a dozen trips or so.
