Getting rid of the braid

[Bohica]

I'm going to strip off the 50# PP that came on my 525's.

I'll be at Bass Pro in Hampton on Saturday about 10 AM to pick up supplies for the trip next week. I want to buy some 17# suffix tritanium, but don't see it on their web site.

Can you guys recommend an alternate brand available at BPS if they don't have it?

Bob, contact the guys at AllTackle, I know they have it and their Annapolis store is kinda' on your way to Outer Banks or they can UPS it to you

the P-line copolymer is the closest thing they have at BPS and is good stuff, pricey though at $14 1/4lb bout 600yds.

Fished the Tri for the first time last trip, it is excellent FISHING line, not a nic on it 8 rods for 10 hours. It'd be worth a special trip to get it, I had my alltackle order in 3 days. Be sure to specify the color, green is dark green not hi vis...

Ben,

This stuff? P-Line® CXX X-tra Strong Monofilament. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults

or this? P-Line® Evolution Copolymer http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults

or this? P-Line® Original Copolymer http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults

Thanks.

To all others, thanks for the recommendations, and I am aware of All Tackle's location, and its proximity to me in OC, and am a satisfied customer of theirs, however, there are things I'm planning to buy at BPS in hampton that I can only get there, and I only want to make one stop.

Bob,

I'd stick to the copolymer stuff, can't go wrong with either the original or evolution IMO. HOWEVER, I never fished the P-line, only field casting and it did nick up in the field but everything does.

ande has a good rep also

Rog, I have to say after switching I'm not going back.

Also, do not buy suffix superior if they have it...not superior to anything.

[mdram]

i made the switch this year from iron silk, which is a great line to tritanium, and wont go back either, lol. but he is looking for alternatives.

i did a search on basspro.com
they have suffux elite and suffix siege on there, may have a bigger selection in store

I like the siege, but it is slick and sometime seems like it is harder to tie some knots, but overall great stuff. That neon tangerine looks purdy kewl too!

[Bohica]

Thanks for all the help. I bought 2 300yd pks of the copolymer stuff, and wouldn't ya know it, Frank and Fran's was able to fill both reels with 17# Tritanium. Wonderful stuff. I like it. I'm casting like a pro now.

I get my Tritanium from Hatteras Outfitters #17 800 yds spool
