Coot,
Are you actually planning on casting (crankbaits, spinnerbaits, etc.) with the Stealth Braid, or just casting out a tube jig with it? I've used the very original Spider Wire that I purchased back in 1993. I still have it on my ice fishing reel and I still can't break the stuff after 16 years!!! I use the braid to troll and have found out it has resulted in a better percentage of hooking fish since there is no stretch. I've also tried several of the other super braids, and found that I keep coming back to Spider Wire (except the sheathed stuff). I've used Rip Cord, Fireline, and Powerpro.
If it was me I'd fork over $40 for the 300 yard spool instead of $21 for 125 yards. That way you can fill two reels and justify to yourself that it only cost $20. Plus, the line should last several seasons. Considering you have a WHOLE lot more $$ tied up in a boat, truck, gas, tackle, etc. Line to me is extremely important and worth the cost. However, I still CANNOT and WILL NOT fork over $15-$20 for a LuckyCraft Pointer. No way, no how! LOL
