I am looking to respool several of my reels. I have never used copolymer. Does anyone have any recommendations? Comments?

thanks

Greg

I had some YoZuri copolymer delaminate on me a few years ago while fighting a Jack Crevalle. I think the innner nylon stretched more than the fluorocarbon would and the outer coating came off. I don't think I was anywhere near the 20 lbs of the line test it was just a long fight on spinning tackle and the line stretched. The nylon still held and I caught the fish after easing up on the drag, but it was a mess with the outer layer peeling off.

I don't use it anymore.

WARNING! This post is by an old fart with a dingy old boat who dreams about fishing more than he fishes. I gladly share what I know (or think I know) and gladly read what others have to share especially if it is different from what I say.
