very handy item to keep gear organized in the shed or boat!!!!

That's a really nice setup. I'm jealous. I was considering the plastic version from Plano (http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=97465&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults) a few weeks ago after I saw at BPS when I saw it in the new catalog. I think I'd prefer the bag though.
If our friends at Acadia are looking...hint, hint...excellent product idea! (and I'm sure you could make it 100% better)

I think anything that gets that line out of the light is a good thing. I think lots of mono is ruined with light. Just my opinion of course. Mike

Also read a supprising post somewhere that a Power Pro pro staff fella wrote about Power Pro. He found that after a couple years on the spool, the Power Pro lost much of it's strength. He even sent it to the manufacturer for their testing. They agreed that it had lost a lot of strength after a couple years, even in the center section of unused line, and should be replaced. mike

put a dowl rod thru it and it holds a lot of line,I try to buy Bulk spools
and they fit real well,kept in the closet outta sight.:icon_cool: Kirk
