Waxy make a suggestion for 8lb. test for jiggin walleyes

and I will try it .. Every time I go to No-sale sprts . I cant talk to anyone who has personal experience with line ...

For Jiggin and Lindy riggin I like a soft stretchy line ...

I will tell you why . almost no memory but after a day of the above presentation pretty twisty ...Let 40 ft or so out behind the boat at full speed
and out comes all the twisty got that from the Lindner brothers 30 yrs ago .....I like a little stretch when fishin big fish deep
cushions a bit ... I always ask my partners what they are using , how
long its been on the reel ... I fish with a guywho works at a tackle store and
and gets the latest and greatest , so I get to see it in action ...

All I am saying is best bang for your buck is still the tried and true ..
A reel full of line in the sun is still only good for one season maybe .....

I opened a pack of vanish 8lb. and broke a piece off , thats not good

XL you still have trouble breaking it off when snagged ( 8 lb. )

I caught my Catfish specialist ( 5) over 20 lbs out of the Red River
Man ..biggest over 35 with 6 ft rod and 8 lb. test XL

Check with big Bad John on here about the fightability there ...

But again tell me what I am missing and I will try it ...

I have fished with a few Berkley Factory guys and gotten the skinny on line ,
