When gamefishing, a full spool of mono wound on too tight can result in catastrophic failure of the reel spool.To counteract this problem a Top-Shot of mono over 2/3 of a spool of dacron will prevent the crushing effectof nylon after a long fight. The mono top shot will be cheaper to replace and will give you just enough stretch to absorb any shock loading from heavy drag settings. In conclusion, Top-Shots are a good thing, they are chafe resistant, crush resistant, stretch forgiving, and economical.

Woodstock IGFA Green Spot Dacron lines are heat set and waterproofed. Their low stretch and high abrasion resistance equals Trophy power! Used by more & more "finicky" fishermen every year!
