Hey there Grimm,

I just finished a trip where I used Fireline and Ironsilk. The Ironsilk 12lb was great. Fireline was less so and I got a birdsnest although the makers said it would be a problem. Also, I heard from a person who has posted to your question that when the coating is quickly worn off the Fireline, the line is not much good. Don't know about that yet.

I've bought a Quantum Catalyst Tpi 20 spinning reel recently smooth drag, smooth everything!!! but... The spool is wiggly even when it's seated properly on the shaft. This bugs the heck out of me and I wouldn't suggest it unless you can ignore this quirk.
