Cajun Red Cast mono line
I just picked up a spool of Cajun Red Cast and gave it a try Saturday,
and I was very impressed with its castability. Maybe I should of tried
it on a reel I'm already familiar with, but I spooled it on an old Ryobi
V-Mag3 I picked up at a garage sale. I'm pretty much a beginner with
baitcasters. I set the mags at 5 (half-way), tied on a Gammy 3/0 EWG
with a 1/8 oz bullet weight, and rigged a 6" curl-tail worm. I found I
could chunk (that's Texan for throw) it almost twice as far as I could a
similar lure on Power Pro. I fished for a couple of hours, and landed 6
bass, a large bluegill, and about a 3lb. channel cat. I never re-tied,
and I never backlashed. Like I said, I'm fairly new to baitcasting, and
I usually have to decide if I want distance, or do I want to avoid
overruns. I was able to really load up the rod on casts with no
problems. Now I'll have to put it on another reel and see how much to
praise the line, and how much the reel. |

on one of my BC reels most of the year, and while I agree the
castability was good, I found the line had too much memory for me. Is
the 6 or 8# any better? John C. French |

| Actually, it is the 10#. I haven't seen any memory problems, but I just
spooled up. however, the spool diameter is pretty small, and it seemed
to lay straight off the spool. After I caught that catfish, the hook was
bent, and I didn't work very hard at straightening it. But I wasn't
noticing any twist problems with the line, either. |
