Gama Co-Polymer Pros and cons?

[Baron49]

I tried some 14 and 17 lb Gama co-polymer for the first time and it appears to be a very smooth casting and limp line.  Just wondering if anyone else has tried this line.  I am using it for jig and worm fishing.  Feed up with the problems with fluoro lines and P-line does not have a 17 pound test in a co-polymer.  Was wondering if anyone else had tried it and interested in any comments about Gama Co-Polymer.

I have used the Gamma lines with no problems.  The only con I have is it does carry a pretty big price tag $$ for being a copolymer line vs. the competition in the same copolymer lines, and I can't seem to buy it in bulk.  As a result, I have used Izorline copolymer when it was referred to me and have found the quality to be just as good, if not better than the Gamma line.  It is about half the price as Gamma lines because you can buy it in bulk.

I use Gamma line also, and as Creel says the negative is the cost. Tried some Sufix Elite recently trying to save some on cost, don't know if it is a copolymer or not. The abrasion resistence was not nearly as good as Gamma, I tend to fish in trees a lot.     
Gamma has a promotion going right now where you can buy two spools of 300 yds. and get one free. But you have send for the free spool.

I use Gamma some, remember the braking strength is higher than the pound test. You might not want to exceed the recommended line wt. of the rod. Example: 14# test has a breaking strength of 23 pounds, 17# = 26.5. If you are looking for 17# test use their 10# = 17.5 & if you want 14# try 6# = 13 or 8# = 15. I like the line & use it for fishing plastic's.

I am trying gamma copolymer after a recommendation from another member. I also tend to use the yo zuri hybrid on my reels. So far it's held up pretty good. I can get an extra five or ten feet out of a cast than the yo zuri and at least to me, it seems more sensitive. I've felt strikes that were more or less sucking on the bait and not thumping it and went ahead and set the hook on a hunch to come up with a fish. I am using the 12lb test and haven't had it break yet. I can't say the same for their fluorocarbon. It may not be invisible, but I haven't read any claims that it should be. If you're buying into the invisibility concept, you may not want this line. I definitely like the feel of this stuff though. I don't pay much attention to breaking strength vs lb test anymore since most companies are making that claim. In one ear and out the other. One con to mention at least for the thinner stuff (I think this is true for most line in this range) is that a backlash could turn into something hard to pick out when compared to a larger diameter that even your fingers can pick out. Cost isn't all that bad really. Course I don't change out my line as often as some folks do.

Day two on the water and compared 17 lb P-line Fluoro to the 17 lb Gama Copolymer.....

The Gama stayed limp and easy to cast/pitch all day long with a jig.  The P-line fluro started getting a little memory in it after several hours of pitching a jig.  Honestly could not see any different in the number of strikes or the number of hook ups.  The Gama was just a sensitive as the P-line and was much most castable.  I have to say I am impressed with the Gama Copolymer.....now the next thing will be to see how durable it is.

Have been using Gamma copolymer since march 1 this year, in 12lb on spinnerbaits,rattle traps and cranks,and 14lb on buzzbaits/topwaters.I really like it,good durable and abrasion resistant,stil retains the limpness.Have not tried it on jigs or soft plastics yet,but may give it a go,

Just had some break off yesterday and leave about 20 feet of line in the water. The only resistance was thick hydrilla I got hung up in. It's possible a gar or a branch nicked a spot in the line or even could have been a backlash point, but I put the line on about 2 weeks ago and hadn't changed it out yet. Still pretty good stuff in my opinion.
