Here is a little trick for ya. Fusion is great line for deep water applications. When fishing for trophy LG. Mouth in the midwest lakes where clarity is not as great as say Cal. H2O, I like Fusion 20LB. Now for the secret. Instead of reel lube etc get you a large can of "SILICONE WATER GUARD" made by Sno-Seal, its the same stuff you spray on leather coats, boots etc, PAY ATTENTION NOW!!!!! SPRAY THIS STUFF ON THE LINE WHILE IT IS STILL ON THE FACTORY SPOOL, COMPLETELY SATURATE THE SPOOL, AS FUSION LINE BY ITS CHEMICAL MAKE UP REPELS WATER, LET THE SPRAY COMPLETELY DRY, ABOUT 1 HOUR, THEN SPOOL YOUR REELS. The Silicone will make the line lay flatter on the spool, insures fewer backlashes, but most important will allow you to easly cast light lures on heavy line. Silicone reduces the line friction by over 45%, Hey this not only works on fusion but spider wire, and all the other braded lines AND also works like a charm on your boat carpet, seats, etc...<br>J.O.
