TMF89 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Cabela's is the only place I've seen carry Gamma. At Gander we have them on some Genz combos, but not just stand-alones. I wish we'd get that and P-line Flouroice in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I didn't see it at the Rogers store, two days ago - only Berkly's, Power pro, and Stren, well Cajun also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishwater Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 It is over near the ice fishing stuff, quite a ways from the other fishing line... Last row in front of the setup portables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 That's where I looked. There wasn't much of a selection. I did stop by the bargain cave and picked up a slightly blemished Stradic 6000. I felt kind of stupid walking around the store with the sawed off handle. Got home, took it apart, cleaned out the exess greased and it seems to work in perfect order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 THey should have it at Cabelas. And I believe, Thorne Brothers has it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The only bad thing i have to say about gamma ice line is that its hard to find. Does TB carry it? I was told they did last year but they said they didnt when I went in. cabelas was the only place i found it. Hopeful that changes this year.

CALVINIST Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 They have alot of Gamma ESP in stock at Gander Mt in Eden Prarie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Okay, so I went all the way back to Bela's in Rogers and they had only 3 spools of 2# Gamma left. One of which had been opened.So now that I've got 2# Gamma ESP and 2# P-line Flourice the difference are that Gamms is softer and more limp at room temp. I've already had the P-line on a spool so I went to unspool it and check for line memory. Just like your typical floro coated line, memory coils. Good thing about P-line is it is more limp than other floro coated lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Glad you were able to find some Slipperybob- I hope they re-stock before I get there. .LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleShack Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 That's the real beauty of the Gamma Polar Ice ESP, it is flexible in the cold.Pure 100% fluorocarbon does not play well in the cold, just too densely made. Makes reasonable leeder material but you get better fluidity of lure action with the ESP. Ed,Is the Gamma Ice and Pline ice going to be available at GM?I was in the local store and they told me that it was not available this year.

iFishStu Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 There was several spools of Gamma ESP at the Cabela's in Owatonna last week. I just happened to be passing by and stopped in on a hunch. Glad I did as it sounds like it is hard to find in the metro area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard5289 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Spent a weekend searching all over Rochester for Gamma ESP and struck out at GM, FF and [PoorWordUsage]'s. Finally just ordered some online at the Gamma HSOforum. I believe the price was 4.95-5.95 for a 110 yd spool plus s/k. Not a too bad and it saves me a trip to Owatonna Cabela's.just another option....Redbeard5289 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode2235 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 using both Floroice and Gamma, are you all changing your line annually or more often?My mono just disintegrates by the end of season, but my fireline is still going strong a couple years on. Where do these lines fall in this regard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Chode,I would change my line annually like you state.. I even often change my line mid winter at times... I usually only put on about 50 yards per reel though... and yes super lines can be good for MANY seasons if taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinrude19 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i usually switch my lines no matter what kind of line every year and gamma is my favorite line that i have ever used especially the ESP stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
