berkley big game mono... wtf!?
so i get a new spool, im spooling it up tonight and there's piece of mono that is stringing off the main line, like it had been melted or not properly spun in its liquid form before being spooled... then a little further there's something amber colored and stuck to the mono... like peices of a melted lolipop... also, the other day i respooled my sealine 30 with 20lb big game and it looks like it has bubbles in the line around the edges... brand new spool. i dont know whats going on with this mono, i've never had a problem with big game, and the only other line i use is suffix and usually dont buy it because of cost.

Fuck Big Game. Suffix is the BEST! Suffix Superior is nearly identical to Big Game (just better) if yo're hard up for something like the berkley stuff. Suffix Tritanium Plus is their best mono line - Its just extremely difficult to find last I checked. Been grabbing their 832 Spectra which is the shit and some of their SEIGE mono in Camo. Looks great fishes like the Tritanium Suffix I loved on the East Coast. Its virtually the only line to use in Hatteras.

Full spool of Seagar Invizix flouro.
Or full spool of spectra, top shot with flouro. Was a fan of Big Game, but swapped over to Ande. Nvr had a problem with that line.

P-Line or Izorline XXX. Save money by drinking tap water and eating ramen, not buying cheap line.

Eagle Claw has a great mono line and can usually be had for less than $6 a spool at Walmart. I've never had a problem with it, something you might want to take into consideration.

Izor, Ande, Maxima, Big Game. They've all treated me kindly over the years.

I'm not a dedicated fan of ay one line and have used many on the market. I can't recall ever seeing any berkley big game like you described. I have BG on my jig stick right now and it is working fine. Maybe the line stored in the garage was older than you thought or your garage gets hot enough to damage it. Like the other poster said, a bad guide can damage line. I've head of pulling a cotton ball through the guides to see if there are any knicks or burrs. I've used Ande over the years and do prefer it. 6-40 lb and thier pluoro too. I know I'm old school but they still make pink mono. Mike

and also, as far as the damage to the 20lb, i can look on the filler spool and see it, its not a guide, and the 30 being spliced like that... and looking used where it was spliced. thats just wrong. this last spool just pissed me off. i went and got more line from a big retail store and we'll see if anything is wrong with it.
