Default Round planer board line

Every time I hit one of the HD or Lowes stores, I look to see if they have any round weedwacker line in the .095 thickness. I had found small spools (40ft) in the .095 or larger spools in the smaller .80 size.

Today, I was in Lowes (Glen Burnie) and found .095 size in spools of 280ft.
It is not orange colored, but who cares. It is gray and distributed by Husquvarna and called Titanium Force Premium Trimmer Line. It's made in USA and cost the same as the dimond orange stuff.

I just thought I would pass the info along. I picked up a spool, even though I only plan on jigging this year.

Bowen's in annapolis (Riva Rd, immediately on the right as you exit from 665) normally carries the bigger spools of the thick stuff too.

Made in USA is a BIG plus though....not sure about the stuff they carry.

400lb mono stretches less and is stronger. I switched to it and am happy. (I use "outrigger line") It does have more memory than weedwacker line though.

It may be more expensive upfront but I think I can get more time out of it so it will be cheaper in the long run. You can buy it in 50 yard lengths or 100 yard lengths. I pull 100' lines

100 ft lines; you sissy. The spool of 280 ft is just right for me. Cut it in half and I have 140 per side. I hope it streaches and I get 150 per side.

Anyone know where I can get a small strobe light to put on my board flags.

In all honesty, 100-125 ft is plenty.

140 - you bleeding pu$$y.

280 is just right - per side

I've never had any trouble with the serrated weed wacker line- in fact , I prefer it over smooth.

The clips tend to stay in position better as they grip the line slightly.

280' per side should be perfect for you 6 rod pre season setup.
