    Default Mainline Brand Recommendations Needed

    Looking to replace quite a bit of 3/4" mainline before next season. Planning on going to open houses this weekend,but with current exchange rate on U.S dollar ,and hassle at the border figure on buying closer to home. Closest available is D&G,20 minutes away,CDL 1/2 hour away,Lapierre 1 hour away,and Leader 1.5 hours away. Any experience good or bad appreciated.

    Definitely look into h2o, all brands are really getting better and better each year. I personally have been using the h2o brand and have had zero issues,(besides what i messed up) but really great products and built to last

    I like my CDL 1" mainlines rolls out easy and doesn't seem to retain much memory.

    I have used Leader 30p and D&G mainline, prefer the 30p but the D&G is half the price so have switched to it.
