Too stiff for anything but flipping heavy cover with a short line. I am going to throw a fit on their FB page and see if I can round up a posse. ? CXX is mostly what I use and what I thought you were talking about. I had 6lb line on a spinning rod and lost a 30lb+ striper on because I pulled the hooks after setting the drag too tight. Not joking. Two treble hooks straightened. CXX is WAY stronger than its rating. I've pulled my boat with it trying to pull a crappie jig straight and retrieve it. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
fishinwrench Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 No doubt. You could pull skiers, or fence in rodeo bulls with CXX. They are dropping the ball by marketing it only as a "fishing line". Ranger520vx and JRay 2
moguy1973 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I was just at the BPS here in St. Charles today and they were fully stocked with both green and fluorescent clear from 2lb-12lb. I got a couple spools. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Seth Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I JUST started using this stuff in 2# for my trout rods after seeing several people talking highly of it. So far I really like it. Hopefully BPS will still have some left in a few weeks and I can pick up several spools to last me a while. Johnsfolly 1
ollie Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Well crap. That is about the only line I buy. Been sold on it since Wayne , rest in peace, showed it to me about 10+ years ago and I have been stuck on it since. Great line IMO. I bought some of their fluorocarbon that is close to it, but it just wasn't the same thing. How come this always happens!!!!!!!! Us fisherman always find something we like and then they get rid of it. I know things always change, but, oh you know the feeling. I don't like the CCX due to diameter reasons for trout. I know I will find something to replace my bass line, but................................................................. my trout line I really loved that stuff.

fishinwrench Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 It never fails. Once I get hooked on a certain bait, reel, rod, line.... anything......it immediately becomes the hardest thing in the world to find.
Members cart7 Posted March 7, 2017 Members Posted March 7, 2017 I remember when Real Line was going out of business. I bought up as many bulk spools as I could find. I'm starting to run out and was likely to switch to P Line. I've also used Yozuri Hybrid which was great line but they don't make that anymore either.
Ketchup Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Just ordered a 1000 yard spool from Amazon. Hope its as good as you say Wrench. TinBoats BassClub. An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.
moguy1973 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Maybe they aren't getting rid of it. It's on their website again. I could have sworn I searched for it one day when I was on there and I didn't see it. http://p-line.com/line/fluorocarbon-coated/cx-premium BPS is showing all sizes in stock online also. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
