I just go to Berry's and spool my reels up with mono - might be 15 bucks per reel plus or minus. Or - buy a spool (Maxima Ultragreen One Shot 220 yd) and put it on yourself.

Post by: dobrolub on September 05, 2014, 05:09:26 PM: Spooled with Maxima UG at Highwater tackle for 10$. I might try seaguar or berkley vanish next season or the season after.

My C3 is 6500.

Post by: dobrolub on September 05, 2014, 07:38:34 PM: As I remember Freds' was a little cheaper but I haven't spooled at Freds for two years and I just don't want to waste any of my time spooling the line on a day that I should be getting it wet instead! :)

Thanks to everyone who replied.
