Sue Bond –
I bought the 30# blue dacron for my bass fishing setup. It fits perfectly with my 9wt rod and feels strong without being too stiff. Easy to cut and store. Good value for the price per 100 yards.
Tracey Watson –
Used the 20# green dacron for trout fishing. It’s lightweight and works well with my 6wt rod. The color matches my reel well and it’s easy to handle during casting.
William Davies –
Got the 65# GSP for saltwater use. It holds up well when fighting larger fish like tarpon. The backing is durable and doesn’t fray easily. Great for my 10wt rod.
Jacob Wilson –
The 80# GSP was a bit too heavy for my setup. I’m not sure if it’s right for my 12wt rod. Might need to test with a different weight for better performance.
