I was looking at some of the new Stren Suffix and Berkley Maxx lines today in 6lb test. I noticed the line diameter is about the same as the diameter of the 10lb test line of their more standard (castable style) lines. Is the durability and strength of their 6lb line merely based on beefing up the diameter and called it a tough line. I know there's surely more to it than that, but isn't the purpose of using lighter lines mainly for a smaller diameter?
I have a few days off so hopefully fish 4 days in a row from sunrise to sunset. Likely two or three lakes a day depending on the bite. I won't fish any well known opener lakes until the weekday.
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
