Just checking out something I've heard in the past. Was told that Bass Pro line was actually Trilene XT. It's time to respool several of my trolling reels and thought I'd use it if it really is good line. Thanks, Dan

The Excel brand(which is BPS) is left over Trilene that isn't spooled onto the Big Spools.

Last I knew the majority of of fishing lines made in the U.S.
are made by Stren and Berkley their may be others but in volume and sales they probably hold 85% of line sales and volume.
Statistically one of them makes EXCEL, The major difference is BIGGAME is monofilament and the EXCEL is a copolymer (blend of mono and polyester or other material, one over the other. I use alot of both the EXCEL does not hold up as well to sunlight or dirty water or strecth. But is limper and casts better changed out often. I like the 8lb.and the price. Like a dirty diaper when a line gets bad change it and often.
