Spectra downrigger line?

[stinger]

I know this came up recently but not much said about it. Anyone try this stuff yet? I see Cabela's has it listed.

I would imagine that the fleas would hang on pretty good but is there any merit to using this stuff?

Not sure about it for downrigger cable but the 200 lb test spectre makes awesome planer board tow line!!!!

I have been using the braided cabale's downrigger line for about 5 yrs

have no problems with it. Have also used 150 lb pro line and really

like it. when the fleas get bad I remove it. I do tie it right over

my DR wire.

how does spectra downrigger cable affect the amount of line out verses what the counter reads? I would assume it is much smaller in size, which changes actual depth.

If I remember right it was quite accurate. I attach the braid to may

cable and once I have one wrap around the spool I wrap the cable

spool with electrical tape, this keeps the braid from getting in the

wire cable. I never let all the braid with the attached wire out as it

might break off.
