Little off topic so please answer Jose's question first but how many of you have spools with a worn off label that you have no idea what it is? As soon as I bring them home, I use a Sharpie and write the pound test number on the spool. Lasts a long, long time.

Yo-Zuri #15.
A bit light I know, but I have landed good sized reds & jacks with it.
I check it often & if it is frayed I change it.

I recently started labeling my spools that way because I got tired of trying to figure out what pound test the line was. Definitely worth doing.

That's what I liked about Berkley's Vanish. Just not crazy about the line itself. So, I kept the spools and wound my Seaguar around them and as Rik did, I marked them with a Sharpie if they were a different weight line.

p.s. I also have 100# but about the only thing I use that for is tying off a chum bag when shark fishing on my friend's stinkpot.

I bought it for a specific reason but at this moment, I can't remember what that reason was. I've had it for so long I just thought I'd use it on the chum bags just to get rid of it!

Seaguar 30# for bite tippet

Berkeley "Professional Series" 100% flourocarbon 20# for regular tippet

And yes, I hate it when the labels wear off and I'm forced to guess what # test I'm using

Spider Wire XXX co-polymer 10 lb on the reel with 15 lb Seagar or Bass Pro equivelant flouro leader. Double Uni line to line spool to leader and Bow-line loop knot on the leader to lure.
