Looking for a bulk spool in 15lbs/0.38mm.

Used the same spools for 3-4 years and it's been great but time to replace and I can't find it anywhere

Anyone know of anywhere with stock?

Otherwise an equally good alternative?

I would recommend Xline in 0.37. Used both and found it better than the Berkeley stuff in nearly every way.

That's a shame I've used a few different brands and found it the best.

I completely agree, it's great. I'm now looking at the X-Line, though how similar it is considering it's a fluro I'm not sure.

I went from x line to cf600 and now back to xline again. Far more reliable I've found.

Only downside is max spool size of 600 yards / meters

For a fluoro I found it easy to like. Even casting want too bad.

I used X-Line years ago but found it less well behaved, worse for casting and unreliable knot strength.

I've also used Tiger in the past and none came close to CF600 as I recall it.

Check this out! https://amzn.eu/d/hcsHTm3very popular in the states. I've not used it as a reel line but tried a spool for fly leader tippet and rate it highly.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
