Braided line is the only way to go. I do not like three strand at all. This line will last at least 10 years, actually more. great deal except for the fact ............I like to splice my own. But the line costs much more than this deal.
The blue tape on the lines is so I could write the length down for each line. The 5/8" & 1/2" lines were purchased at West Marine with factory eye splices.
