A question about fire line.
I decided to leave my center pin at home, and pull out my 3106 level wind rod yesterday. I wanted to cover a lot of water. I have a Calcutta 400 with fire line, I normally use with a Fenwick rod for sockeye. My question is. Is fire line hard on the guides of the 3106? Maybe I should pull the line off and store it for a few years.

I myself have using either Fireline or Stren's Super Braid for the last 8 years at least with no damage or scuffing of my guides. And I'm like you I either use my custom made Sage or my Rainshadow I have made for me. That is the only type of line that is spooled on my baitcasting reel's.

Thanks for the info, as I don’t want to bugger up my Sage. I going to bring out my level wind I want to cover more water.

Fullahead if you want to try a new braided line that you can use for clear water condition's give either Fireline Crystal a shot or Spiderwire Ultracast Invisibility. I have used both for clear water coho fishing and steelhead with great success as they made to disappear. I don't know how they can make a braided line basically transparent in water but it works. They should be able to be bought at your local tackle shop.
