Will do, if there are no other suggestions I like better. I use mine for 
shore casting, and am also having difficulty finding a line I like, to fill 
mine with, most lines are too "soft/limp" and others are way to
stiff, unless 
one, is/are fishing a very rocky area, and need the extra heavy abrasion 
resistance the give.

Thanks,

Russell
