I have no experience with any kind of Spectra other than Power Pro and need to fill a new reel, so I would like to hear what you have to say.

I use PP, sufix, and izor spectra. couldn't tell you the difference if my life depended on it. just figured if people are going to fight over whether hobies are real kayaks, we ought to fight over other things too

it's all good. in fact, I also use spiderwire spectra in the lighter tests on my baitcasting reels. like it quite a bit. some people don't.

just trying to get the juices flowing before cat. what better way to start a trip than by having people pissed at you. I was just having fun. never take anything I say seriously

friday can't come quick enough!!

The manner in Which Izor is coated and then Woven is what makes it different from the others. Also the White Spectra is superior in casting to others as it will not stick to itself.

Sorry had to give the answer.

Izor isn't coated, that's one of the things people like about it. PowerPro is coated and it wears/flakes off over time. They all stick to themselves after they get salty.

I just switched from pedal to paddle and love it. IMO, I feel a little more connected with the water when I paddle. I will probably buy another hobie later in life when possible, but for now I just want the basics so I can learn how to kayak fish better.

Hobie does make a strong durable yak, but my Wilderness systems yak impressed me. equal in the craftsmanship.
