copolymer

My experience is different. The stuff is small diameter and soft, which has its advantages, but it nicks easily, and a nick in that small diameter creates a significant weak spot.

Watch your knots copolymers dont like heat it weakens them. Make sure you wet them when you tighten them down.

noticed that, forgot to lick one and it resulted in a 2 inch pig tail from the lure up (palomar).

what brand of copolymer did you use?

I have had great success with 8# Izorline XXX.

I treat all my line with KVD line conditioner as well.

tried kast king and p line with the same results so I stopped using it, have heard the KVD and pure 'food industry' approved silcone work, might try again at some point with the line treatment.

I like that izorline. a buddy of mine was a rep for them and we did a show in rockland one year. we had the line on the knot tester machine and it holds up extremely well. the line is real nice. has a fair amount of stretch too. I know the trout guys love the smaller diameters as some local shops sell it out quickly. I have used the 6 for drop shot, 8 for light cranking on my crankbait rod and have used 14 as a leader to braid. im pretty much a bass guy . wet your knots always too. if ya wanna try it out I got some bulk spools ill fill a reel for ya if your in the area.

just checked my line stock again, looks like I tried 6lb clear yo-zuri hybrid too.

I'm in North Plainfield and don't go north much but thanks for the offer, think I'll try izorline with kvd next. let you know.

that's why I pulled it off my 4 and 6# rods and went with the conditioned 8# izor for the test.
