Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo
Very good feeling fishing line that has minimal stretch and seems to handle reel tangles very well. There is nothing worse than having to deal with a bird nest in your reel, and so far, this has been great. I use this 1lb test version for bluegill, a...
