Gamma Line demo at NW Sports Show

[HawgTide]

Did anyone watch the Demo of the Gamma line at the Sports Show and what were your thougths on the "tests"?

For a line that cost $28 for 120 yards, it better be impressive. The test he did, to me seems like they could be easily manipulated, although I did think the line outperformed the other lines in the test. I bought some of the fluorocarbon just to try it myself, since someone posted on here a couple of weeks ago that Greg Hackney is swearing by it. They had a buy 2 get 1 free deal at the show, plus one of the dealers had it on sale, so I got 3 spools for around $53.

HT- I saw it myself, and thought that it could easily be scamed. I asked if I could do the test again with a friend and his hands out of it. I also wet the knot and tied a regular fishing knot to a large split ring.

Believe it or not. That gamma stuff was lagit, my friend and I did the test our selves out own way and the gamma still out performed my beloved P-line. I will have gamma on a few of my rods this year for sure. You are correct on the cost however, a little steep. I guess you may get what you pay for, powerpro isn't cheep either.

That's good to hear. I was looking into doing my own test, too. Did you find it to be stretchy? I was wondering how it would work for Cranks. It sounds like the newer Fluorocarbons have more stretch than the earlier ones.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I didn'tthink it stretched any more than normal mono. Not sure how it will work on cranks. It was a smaller diam for strength so that would be nice?

I took the Gamma test Deitz brought me over there to take a look. I was impressed with the line, no doubt about that. I will be giving it a try this open water season on at least one of my reels...

Which Gamma line was this?...The fluoro?

[Deitz Dittrich]

I tested both lines at the show and will be giving both a test this season... Looking forward to it. If i dont like it I will be going back to my P-line.

Hey Guys,

Gamma is the real deal. I am Pro Staffing for Gamma, and I am sold on the product. As a former Trilene guy, this has it beat hands down. Abrasion resisitance, daimeter, and strength are outstanding. It is worth the cost. How much do we spend on Rods, reels, baits? Line is also as important. It is what connects you to the fish. Line is a spending priority.

[Deitz Dittrich]
