| Good day all
so I need some help. we tried to do the all-nighter last night in-between storms and lightning strikes. we finally were able to see the sun rise. However in the midst of casting Pounders for Hours and hours, I somehow managed to lose two of my fishing partners favorite ones, thanks to backlashes. One of them was the all glow and the other was the all black with the tip of the tail white, this one also had a spinner of the dorsal hook. I need to replace them and not sure of the best place. Any help would be much appreciated
I also need to re-spool 5 reels of line. I would like to know if 80# suffix 832 would be the best to do it with??
Thanks for your help on both

Location: Ludington, MI | Rollie and Helen's seems to have the best selection. The one you're referring to sounds more like a Heli-Dawg than a pounder. Sufix 832 is outstanding line, but it does not come in 100-pound test, which is what most people recommend for pounder fishing. |

| I'd go with 100 lb line.. Most likely wouldn't have lost 2 pounders to backlashes if you were using 100 lb last night..
Rollie and Hellens, Muskytackleonline, and thorne bros all have a good selection of pounders, but I can't say for sure if they have the exact colors you mentioned...
I believe the black one with the white tip is called "Felix" if that helps at all.. Good luck.. |

| The line can be purchased pretty reasonably around where I live. An older gentleman here in central Iowa sells line and lures out of his basement. I bought a 1500yrd. spool of 100lb. Power pro for like 120.00. 5 300yrd spools is going to be like 150.00+. He has a website jacksonlures.com I would get line from him for sure. |

| Suffix..... Had it break.... When it really shouldn't have.
Tuf-line xp...... Can't break it if I wanted to... 4 years without respooling and counting. |
