[cool][blue][size 1]Sorry for the delayed response on the float tube forum, my friend. I am sure you saw my dissertation on the Utah board.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Try that stuff and give it a good workout. I think you will like it. It is plenty soft for good casting, but it is tough in the stickups and rocks too. If you learned how to tie good knots, then you won't have any fish breaking your knots either. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]There are times when that stuff is almost too good. Anything heavier than 6# test is almost impossible to break when you are float tubing and get a snag that won't let go. You have to really kick back and haul on the line at the same time. Just don't be holding the line in your hand or you will get a good line cut. With 6# and heavier it is not unusual to straighten the hook out on your jig or lure, rather than breaking the line when you are snagged.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Let us know how you like it when you get some spooled up.[/size][/#0000ff]
