davelepka 4 #2 September 2, 2003 825. Bigger. Stronger. Good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 0 #3 September 2, 2003 825. The 550 goes out of trim quickly and it's VERY thin. There are no benefits besides and un-noticeable decrease in drag.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the Spectra line that CSR makes is 725 lb., not 825. PD uses the number of 825 to indicate coated line versus the 725 that is uncoated used on their reserves.
