Default Best prices on braided lines ??

Anybody know where to find the best prices on any of the braided lines in portland?? I've searched and read all the posts as to who likes what brands, but still haven't quite made up my mind, which is why i haven't specified a brand.

I'm looking to switch over all my reels and haven't won the lottery recently, which is why i'm asking.

Thanks

Don't get in a hurry Beancounter. The best place to purchase that line will be the Sportsmans Show at the Expo in Febuary. There will be many venders with specials.
Fishermans Marine and Outdoor will run a show special and you can actually have the reels spooled at their store (same price) so you don't have to pack the reels around the show with you.

www.cabelas.com

I priced lines all over the place and they had the best deal on Ppro and whiplash... didn't look to much at any other braids

A couple of weeks ago, the local GI Joes had yellow TufLine XP at half price. IMO this line is better than Power Pro...stiffer at the smaller diameters. I bot 4/150 yard spools of 6/20 and a 300 yard spool of 14/65.

Keta
7.5 cents per yard would be hard to beat. Whats even better is you could fish 65lb Power Pro on darn near every reel you own.

What's up Keta? Knitting your own low profile gill net?? Filling one of the BIG Penns for the tunaholics summer convention? "Bank fishing" off the I-205 bridge? :grin:

I re-spooled 2 4/0 senators, I did have a bit left over for about 1/2 of a spool on my 3/0. Some Hemmingway fan filled my 6/0 for me :smile:
