John Bacon Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Bass Pro is selling Rapala fishing line for $1.99 a spool. They have an assortment of 6 to 17 pound test... mostly 8 pound test.
fish_fishburn Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Sounds like the perfect line to use as backing for all the cp guys out there.
waterwolf Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 i tried a spool a few years back but was disappointed because of very high memory , found it hard to work with, tie'n knots an' such. might be a different animal of late, don't know never went back.
bassman87 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 sounds like it'll be good for arts and crafts. bead bracelet anyone?
Fang Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 The Rapala Tough line is very high memory. Although I've been running 20 lb on my riggers and it as good as my old standby Maxima green If you can get a hold of any of the Finesse line it's much better and at that price it's good for a few trips and then change it out

Cudz Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Sounds like the perfect line to use as backing for all the cp guys out there. I wouldn't even use it as backing. That is all I am going to say about that.
Stern Rules Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Last year they had the tough, finesse and long cast but this year I think it was all finesse and green. I bought a ton of it last year and got more this year but have only really used the 4 lb. line for crappies and haven't had problems yet. Last year they had hardly any 8 lb. but loads this year. I can't speak on the memory issue. From what a few have said here, it's not that good but for $1.99, it's worth a try.
archer379 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 i bought a roll to put on my newbaitcaster so when i am practiceing in the back yard and get it all messed up i am not wasting a ton of cash lol.
danbouck Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 I bought 6 packs of it for backing and for the kiddies rods.
kingofthesteelhead Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 bought two spools of 6 lb line and have been using it for panfish for 3 weeks now and no issues. No casting problems ,tangles or anything.Seems like good value for the money!
