Distance Braided Line - Ghost Gray - Spooling Service

Braid review

The braid unraveled a couple times and popped twice while fishing. I like the feel of it and its diameter but not much else. I will not use it again.

Why not try the white?

I ordered a new FFP reel. After placing my order I decided that it would be convenient to have them spool my reel so it would be ready to go. I placed an order for braided line. My preferred color and weight was out of stock. I decided to go one size down. The next day I got a call from Kyle. He said that the weight I had ordered would probably not be adequate for the type of fishing I do. They did have the proper weight in white and if I didn't like it, I could return it and get it replaced with gray when back in stock. I tried the white and caught trout on my first trip and it was easy to see. Also since I placed the order for the braid as an afterthought there was an additional shipping fee added. Without being prompted they returned the fee on the braid. Great products and excellent customer service like this are hard to come by! That alone is enough to make me a loyal customer.

Line Spooling

Recently had my 8k's serviced and respooled with 65lb braid for cranking up snapper/grouper and controlling big tarpon. On the first time or two chasing big red snapper with the drag cinched down fairly tight, the line was digging into the spool pretty decent almost like it was spooled a little loose. This is my first time running 65lb braid on these reels so not sure if that's just to be expected with heavy heavy braid or not. Previously, I ran 50lb Diawa J Braid and never noticed that issue when I had my local tackle guys spool the reels.
