"To wrap or not to wrap, that is the question".
Whatever lifestyle 8)...er use you and Rob choose to utilize with Gamma line is fine with us. We are just happy to see it being utilized by anglers & perv---ts around the country.

Auburn Sports & Marine should have it on their shelves by now. I think Outdoor Emporium is also going to handle it.

8# test Gamma has an actual test strength of 15 lbs and 10# a test strength of 17.5lbs.

Rob~
I think you need to proof what you write before you post it.
Don't worry Kirk like you said all in the name of science.

BTW...I love the gamma line! It's VERY strong. The only thing is trying to break it when your snagged. A nice problem to worry about I guess.

I am enjoying the benefits of the 8+ product. I am a real tough sell when it comes to fishing line, but my usual products have begun to present some issues for me and I thought it was time to "step" out. Thanks for the tips, Smitty, it looks like it is working just fine.
Rob and Carlos - If you guys are "wrapping" each other in fishing line, I am clearing out. Hmm.........all in the name of "science" I guess.

I have liked Gamma line. I recently put 8 lb test on instead of the Ande I have been using for years. I was a little stronger, but had a lot less memory. I pulled up a hufe limb off the bottom once with it. I was content with breaking off, but the line held and brought the snag up and I got my grub back.
Carlos and I tested the 2 against each other one night. We wrapped it (the 2 lines) around each other one time and pulled to see which line would pull through the other and Gamma won everytime. We also tried it against some P-line. Same results. I think this stuff is the real deal.

I do not particularly like to come on the club website and tout the products I represent as a ProStaffer. However, there has been some conversation already regarding Gamma Line, so I thought I'd give you some of my impressions.
Since mid-February I have been fishing the 8# and 12# test lines. They both have performed exceptionally well in all the fishing conditions we face here in the Northwest. I was particularly impressed with how well the 12# held up against the tulies during a recent tournament I fished on the California Delta. I am waiting on my allotment of fluorocarbon line to try it. From what I've experienced so far this line is going to replace everything but the 40# braid I use for frog fishing. My fellow ProStaffers with whom I've talked about this product are equally impressed.
Today I ran across a couple of articles on the website of BassFan that were very positive so I have provided the links for you to read up on this line. Read them and decide for yourself.
BTW if Nick still has his samples available for $5.00 per spool, that is a great buy, as the filler spools retail for $8.99.
