Default Finding Large Spools of Braid

Trying to find a retailer selling large (1000yd +) spools of braid in Canada. I can find it online but not from Canadian resellers.

Fishin Hole will and if they don't have any spares will order in what ever you want. They use it themselves for spooling up reels so usually have a few extra kicking around depending what you need.

Wholesale Sports has 50% off of bulk lines. They carry Power Pro and Spiderwire, at least at the Lethbridge location.

Was there Sunday. Lots of huge roles of line for cheap.

Maybe check with Exsile Sports in Lloydminster? They are closing shop and had several of the bulk size spools of braid for sale when I was in last, mind you that was 3 months ago but you never know? Could be worth a phone call.

I picked up some braid from there, going to use it for planer boards. I'm looking for lengths & test strength suitable for kite fishing.

I was going to suggest some of the hobby shops might have large spools. I have an 8 ft. kite.

The Kite Guys are based in Alberta and online. They have some 250lb./ 500 ft braided rolls for 26 bucks. 500 lb./ 500 ft. for 65.00.
