Original Spiderwire

1024 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  sam843
When Spiderwire first appeared on the scene I purchased a 1500 yard spool of 50 lb. test. I used it for everything including surf casting. I know there have been many improvements over the years with micro fiber braided line, but I never kept up on it because I had gone back to mono full time.

Given the fact that I have so much of this stuff left, I want to know if it is worth using, or should I just switch to Power Pro or Fireline? What was it about the original spiderwire that caused them to go away from it? I never had problems with it, I just switched because mono was just so much easier to fish with (knots, breakoffs etc.) Does anyone have any good things to say about the original spiderwire?

Thanks in advance.

That's what I've heard but I have never experienced that. I wonder if that is true or just an exageration. I want to hear from guys who have fished extensively with this stuff. As I said, it would be a shame to throw it away or not use it. At the time it was very expensive - about $200.00 for the spool.

Help me out.
