kelpdiver 2 #3 September 27, 2005 spectra is about speghetti thick, or maybe tad more. Dacron is more like shoelace thick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #5 October 15, 2005 Microlines are a thin - about spaghetti sized. Dacron is thicker, closer to boot lace sized. Dacron also has a bit of "give" to it, in case you get a hard opening...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
