I have one roll on right now. I had to replace it once (company was good about it) because it was the old "wide-spool" version which birdnested and frayed. The new roll doesn't nest, but it has frayed in the last 6 feet (thankfully not deeper). I have cut that back and am now keen to see if the problem comes back. It is a better knot tying line and doesn't kink as much, but if the fraying continues, then I would pass. TBD I guess.

I would love to release more, but I find that most of the hook ups are pretty nasty and I don't think it is humane to release something that won't make it. I have been considering a barbless spoon set. The other problem, however, is that any fish longer than 26" is not recommended to be eaten by the Ontario MNR due to contamination levels by children and very very rarely by anyone else. That means any good size fish is basically poison for us and dead if we release. What to do?
