This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

GreatLakesBass.com is happy to announce that P-Line has signed on for another season to support the bass fishing forum. P-Line has the most impressive selection of high quality fishing line for every possible presentation. I personally use P-Line for my fishing everywhere I go. I especially like the P-Line HALO Co-Fluoride line!

P-Line also has an assortment of lures for fresh and saltwater, and many accessories including high quality fishing tools we all need to make our sport more enjoyable and productive!

Please remember to consider P-Line for your next line or accessory purchase, available at most quality tackle shops and many online sources such as , , D & R Sports Center and .

Please remember that all of the companies that choose to support your web site are what keeps growth and improvements possible. We could not do it without them. Please keep that in mind when you make your purchase choices.

The importance of the support of these companies is growing more critical this winter as GreatLakesBass.com will have to move to a new host/plan that includes a significant increase in cost to allow room for growth and improvements in conjunction with a site redesign coming this winter.

Well, I do use P-Line almost exclusively if I'm not using braid.  CXX for all my floro leaders and the Extra Strong for spinnerbaits and cranks.

Never tried it.  Why don't you bring me a sample spool to the Novi show.  Or, if you prefer... the GR show.  Either works for me!!  LOL!!!  Oh, and does it come in hi-vis yellow??????

Try the Spectrex . You will like it. I've been using it for three years or so.  Good stuff.

Cheaper than PowerPro. for 100 yards is 10.49 for all but 65 lb test, which is about $13 at Basspro.com vs $12.49 to $19 for PowerPro. These may all be sale prices going on right now from the looks of things.

has 150 yard spools for slightly more, but also cheaper by $2 or more per spool than PowerPro.

It comes in 100, 500 and 1500 yard spools there, but you can also find 150 and 300 yard spools at some stores. Spectrex IV only comes in moss green.

karol,
1. I use 8 lb test most often for dropshotting. Depends on the weight I'm using, lure size and cover. I've been playing with the heavier drop shot techniques a few anglers are trying to see what happens... but lots more 'research' to do on line sizes ;D - I tend to use a little on the big size of average, but will be playing more with bigger yet to see what happens. I use 6 lb test when I think I have to and there aren't many snags or other line nicking items around.

2. There's less security around Selfridge NG base than there is around the Great Lakes Perch tube... I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT YET!!! Only 10 more days to the unveiling at Novi! I will smuggle in a stealth camera of some kind to the show to get pics.

I love P-Line Floroclear, been using 6 and 8lb. test for everything from tubing to ds to weightless worms and even shakyheads. It's got a little more stretch than straight floro, but alot less than mono.
