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.

no worries, I do enjoy it and the offer always stands. so long as I still have it. if they do an outing in the fall or some get together ill bring it. we will see . im sure you will like it

ordered 8# izorline, gonna use a can of real magic I have on it (know it's not pure), will update results. thanks!

also going to use 4# p line on another reel with real magic this time to see if it helps.......more to come.

update 8/22- I strung both new reels as per above taking great care to minimize line irregularities. sprayed a lint free cloth with the reel magic and ran line thru it while stringing. got out this morning for an hour to test the lines. both laid flat and cast long although I still get the tip loop more than I'd like. didn't see any oil from the RM as I've read. overall as happy as I was the last time I tried copolymer, hope it holds up.

update on conditioned Izorline 27035 Platinum Co-Polymer Mono Line, 8 lb, clear on KastKing Mela Spinning Reel mounted on Daiwa EXE701MLXS Medium Light Action Exceler Spinning Rod (1-Piece), 7-Feet.

Used four times, line lays flat and still throws good distances but today it developed a complicated wind knot (pulled out but left area wavy) also starting to notice twisted sections, ideas?

[Riz]

ya those wind knots could be a pain. usually caused from slack line being wound on top of it. honestly I close my bail by hand a lot of times and , especially in a stiff wind, once the bail is closed ill grab the line above the reel and pull it tight . also line conditioner may help. reel magic or kvd brands are two I have used but im sure there are others.

if its wavy after it pulls out the line has been weakend so clip and re tie
