My fishing buddy went with the Crystal Ivory last year. Its been working for him, so I bought my first 1/4 lb. spool of 12 lb. test. You get 1176 yards for $6.99, way cheaper than ultragreen, unless you go the service spool route. I'm using it as a low cost mainline, then using 2 lb. lighter U-green for the leader. Jigman a question.... just spooled my Okuma 30 with the Crystal Ivory, is it too stiff to work on this reel?? I have not made one cast with it yet, had a spool of Izorline in my hand but had no clue as to which one was the best on a spinning reel.........
