His son IS the black belt 😆. And maybe some shoes and a purse or wallet too!

I have no interest in getting into the Temu thing, but as far as line goes, I try to look at things from a real perspective. You said your line was 10 years old. I have all Sufix 832 on my reels. I have it because I can see the neon green color, it does not fade, the texture of the line is very much to my liking after the first few casts of new line to get rid of the stiffness. Given your own scenario, that works out to $38 (incl. shipping) divided by ten year equals $3.80 per year. If you are really financially short, flip the line on the reel after ten years. $3.80 divided by 2 equals $1.90 per year. Is the $ 0.95 a year difference in savings for cheap line worth it to you? That is 1/2 cup coffee or a McDonalds Soda you will have to give up a year to make up the difference.
Go for the line that suits you. As for me, it is all about feel, non fade and knot holding strength. I have tried many types of braid. Until something better comes along, I am set on Sufix 832 braid in fireline green. Just an FYI, Sufix often has to be ordered. None of the local stores carry it. There are a number of locations you can order from. Now get your line spooled and go catch some fish. Just be sure to have fun doing it.

Thanks bapa. Money not a particular issue. Was just “casting 😊” about for thoughts. I think I’m going to stick with the name brand. It has served me well. The line I took off filled 2 other reels. So I’ll start the service life of a newly serviced reel with new line.

Thank you to everyone for your insights into this question.

I sent my Avet reel back to the manufacturer for service. For $44 they cleared and lubed the reel. In th box when I got it back was a small plastic bag that had 3 bearings and the old drag disc. They even put on a new knob to replace mine, which was scarred up. Completely satisfied with Avet service.

Thanks Butch. Power Pro is the only braid I’ve used and was on my reel for probably going on 10 years now on my deep sea outfit. I put that line on an inshore reel and it seemed as good as the day I got it.

Looking at reviews, the cheap stuff across all brands seems to have similar issues. The line fades and breaks. I always look at the lowest rated reviews to see if there is a common problem with a product. With fuel and tackle prices and a 20 mile run to some of the fishing I’m leery of unknown names. However lately even name brands seemed to have cheapened their products. So it seems sometimes that we can get cheap inexpensive stuff or cheap name brand expensive stuff 🤷‍♂️

I do want to stay with the metered line. So easy to tell how much line you have out, especially when trolling.

This is what I had. I really like the fact that it is measured. Different color every 25 feet with a hash mark every 5 feet. So if you want to put out 100 feet while trolling, there is no guessing. I just don’t like the price at cabelas, almost $50 for a spool of 65# plus tax.

I don’t shop Temu. They harvest you le info and sell it worldwide, is how they make their money. .


That’s why I haven’t used TEMU yet. On my iPhone or iPad it won’t let me do anything unless I download the app. I didn’t get that message on my computer. I was able to surf the site.

I know that this has been discussed before but I am replacing the line on my reel. I have had Power Pro on it for probably close to 10 years. I sent the reel for service and removed the line. I was amazed how good of condition it still was so I put it on an inshore reel.

I’m open to suggestions for brands and retailers. I seem to remember that some of you have tried TEMU and were not disappointed. Their prices certainly are attractive.

Thanks.

Something to consider:

When I see reports of severe weather on the news I wonder how my fellow Stagers in the areas affected have fared. Would asking for a roll call check in type of thing be too invasive for comfort? I’m always relieved when I see people posting so I know they are ok.

I see about large scale flooding in Texas. Is everyone down there ok?

It may be a bit of a drive for you but Detroit Lake east of Salem is supposed to be god fishing for trout.
