It is possible that the Stren I perchased was old but it came from BPS. I think I'll defintely look into some of the lines suggested. I really like the thin lines for casting light tackle...further casts, less drag, more senstive..but it's no more Magnathin for me.
Thanks again,

Hello all, I'm sure this subject has been talked over to death (hopefully not) but since I'm a newbie maybe I could get your opinions. First off, I've been an avid fan of Stren MagnaThin for the past 5 years (8-lb. clear) for my spinning combo for finessing bass. Recently my Magnathin began to fail ...

Becuase I do mostly shore fishing or fishing from a small pond boat, I perfer to use the plano trays in a backpack. Easy to carry, lots of storage for tackle and extras, very versatile. that's my $.02.

No, no combo trips. Mostly 4by in southern CA, Imperial Valley Desert...no water out there except for the irrigation canals.
Have a good one.
