no doubt are lines not created equal...
I own several types of line and each one of them have a spicific purpose.
note not all lines will function on all reels and rods or behave alike in the water.
you have spider wire, fire line, high abrasion lines, low mememory, high memory, ultra thin, fine, medium gages... and I am sure the list goes on....
if you are a beginner you will do well to remember one thing. low memory and abrasion lines will not work on your spinning reels. they are fine for trolling, and make exiclent leader material because it wants to lay streight and not currled. which means if it is in an envalope curled up and you take it out it will lay flat. If you place it on your spinning reel it will want to do the same thing and the end results is the line comes un raveled when you attempt to cast.
now if I am trolling I wont hesitate to tie on 10-20 foot of abrasion resistant line to my spool it there is sharp rocks down below and then my leader....
this line holds up well or at least better than mono will against sharp rocks...
