Quick question:

Does anyone run Monofilament planer line for a particular reason?

My gut is it switch over the Reels I just got to a fiber-type system.

I know it has more stretch and may be more forgiving in that regard, but wanted to get everyone's opinion on this subject.

This will be year #3 using the same 200# Mono on my planer reels... when I think about it I spray it with Blakely "Reel Magic" (or WD40)...the releases run out smoothly....I use Otterboats with double keels...I like the slight amount of stretch

I was warned that the mono can "tighten" on itself under the load and crack the spool.... because of this I wound on some old Dacron I had from icefishing( about 1/2" thick) before I loaded the mono........ ("knock on wood") I haven't had any problems

I know another guy who has 5 yrs on his mono line...still no problems

Go with the 500 spectra...I have to switch over my 250 power pro because each side has a blood knot holding it together. Both sides snapped on seperate occasions just trolling in around 3 footers
