It is crystal clear and 100% Fluorocarbon, with less stretch than other fluorocarbons. The 5, 6, and 8# test line comes on a 120m/130yd spool, plus the 5 & 6# test will also come on 300m/328yd spool. This line has less spool memory than the grey spinning or clear casting line that is currently available. It is an excellent addition to the Sugoi line.

My camping trip with the kids went great and I have returned with some sanity intact. We all returned with great suntans and lots of sand in our ears. Even though we were not able to fish much because of high winds, we did manage to catch lots of fish while we were out. My daughter JaCoy has taken up photography and used about 5 rolls of film during the trip. They have all been developed and will be used for next weeks article about the camping trip. In the mean time I hope you will enjoy a 2-part story about my experiences preparing for and during the 2003 B.A.S.S.
