We have the new Monic GSP level floating shooting line.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

It comes in .024" and .030" with welded loops on both end for $44.95

Skagit commando Mike McCune says it's the best he has found.

It is 100' long.

Bill -

Do you know the length of that runner ??

If you could ..... have Andy or one of the guys take it outside and see how much it stretches - if it's actually made w/ a GSP core .... it shouldn't stretch much .

I've been looking for a low-stretch running line forever !

The monic does not stretch - check out the spey pages - you may need to search but there is alot of discussion about it on several threads - one by Ed Ward who first wrote about using it - it sounds like it is a great running line - I expect I will scrap my slick shooter and go with this stuff in the fall

David - here is the post by Ed - there are others also but this gives a good description of it

Another running line option to look at is the Airflo Non Stretch Miracle Braid line. It's a braided line with a low stretch core. It sounds like it's similar to Maxs Garths stuffed lines.

Miracle Braid shoots like crazy...the noise going through the guides drove me nuts. I had the feeling that the stuff was sawing my guides off with each cast...just my imagination, I'm sure.

finally got the monic to try out this weekend ( I think it is around 100 feet)Both the 0.024 and 0.030 have the same core rated at 72#.

A post on the spey pages said someone had problems with th 0.024 tangling very badly so I opted for the 0.030 stuff and I am sold - this stuff was wonderful to use - quite flexible and little if any tangling and the tangles, when they happened, came out easily and did not leave a permanent kink in the line like the slick shooter.

I set up a system for my 6126 with a 450 skagit and this as the running line - I really was impressed over the 3 days of playing with it

Hope you and Bill get into them - some of the trees ara already starting to color up
