Today was the day that my little brother will finally get his G1, and since I was going to go to Victoria Park / Lawrence, with the help of google maps, it showed me that I'm only 10km's away from the Scarborough Bluffs.
BUT. Before I get into that story, I went and bought some new braid at BPS today. Man! What a STEAL! Looked around for different braids, and came to the conclusion I wanted to try the new Tuf Line DuraCast. The price tag says 14.99, but at the counter it says 12.99. So now we have the New TufLine for the same price as Spectrex Braid by PLine I believe.
Got home, Spooled up right away, and took off to drive my brother.
Arrived at around 1pm, and saw 2 other people fishing also. Only saw them cast a couple of times, and they disappeared somewhere. Didnt see them catch anything. It was windy and the wind was right into your face, although it wasn't too cold, but the pictures just can't justify how windy it was. At the mouth of the bay, the water was splashing and rolling hard.
All around me were hundreds of mystery birds and a lot of swans. Some of the swans even have big yellow tags on both their wings.
Started to cast around, walked around, casted again, nothing. I stayed there for approx 1 hour because there was a huge lineup at the driving test centre. and I'll just assume it's too cold to hold any fish at all for now. Overall, the water is VERY dirty, and during a few casts, I caught what looks like a used tissue, and something like plastic wrap.
But besides the failed report, I have a fishing line review. :shock:
TufLine Duracast - It's supposed to be a series of lines specifically made for spinning gear, and was meant for better casting.
The colour of it is in between powerpro green / spiderwire invisibraid (the translucent one) In other words, I'd just say it looks like its faded line even before you have it in the water. It seems to also hold in a lot of water inside the braid. After being left to dry for about 2 hours, the braid itself sitting on the spool still feels wet, although the water doesn't come out. This line really is quieter than other braids, but there still is some sound. Casting distance I will have to try out again, but I don't like it that much. Although you are casting it out more quietly, it doesnt seem to go very far. It might be the quieter braid causing more friction or something. No clue. I will try that again in the near future. Finally, I think this will be a tough braid, but I haven't really gotten a test with it with a fish on the other end of the line.
Im also wondering if i spooled up improperly, I bought a 125 yard spool and it looks like I didnt even use half of it when Im using a 2500 sized Daiwa reel.
At the moment, this line is getting a rating of 6/10, but hopefully it changes as it gets worked in or something.
