Generally speaking, the Cabela's lines have been fine, although not usually my first choice. At that price, I would think it would be worth the risk. One concern is the "Plus" line is half a line over-lined, which is not a problem for the average graphite rod, but may be an issue for a bamboo one. I just do not know enough about the rod to say if it will have a positive or negative effect.

Wish you had not mentioned the sale, however, because now I'm going to have to get a couple as well.
