A-Fishy-Anado Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have never used Cabelas brand LC and am looking for input from the guys that have good/bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj6131 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I used it last year, and will again this year, and didn't have any problems. Pricewise, you can get 2 full cores for $16, when you pay $13 for 1 core at most local stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have it on a few rods Bromley. I dont notice a difference between it and the stuff on my other rods.....except for its easier on the wallet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Fishy-Anado Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I used some Cortland that someone gave me last year and lost 2 set ups due to breaks in the middle of the cores. I have had knot issues in the past but never had a core break before. The sheath seemed good when i rigged it, maybe it was old stuff who knows!

tltorrice Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have been using Cabalas 27# for years and I like it. Last year I had to buy another brand of 27# and it was thicker. I had to strip off a bunch of backing on my reel to make it fit. I will go back to the Cableas. I try to keep a 2 core spool on board. Good price too.

Priority1 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have some spooled right now. It works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenparts1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My uncle and I have both been using it, he has used it much longer than I, but I have not seen any problems with it including rot for the 4 years I have used it. I don't fish as much as a pro charter though but I think it is a good product and should work just fine for you aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Fishy-Anado Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I saw that one, but was hoping to save a little bit and get a bigger spool. Kinda crazy that cabelas online store only has 100 yd spools:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotdog71 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I used the lead and non lead last year. They were vitually the same in all aspects. Good product, I bought more to replace the line in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
