    At least with braid there is no worry about it having 'spool memory', braid is all I've used past few years. But yes, it will cut you if enough pressure and line movement over your skin. I think fluorocarbon line is limp with less spool memory. Also, it has the same light refraction as water does, so the line under water is almost invisible.

    Those of use who mainly fly fish (I haven't picked up my spinning reel in years) are at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to a 'compact' kit - I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any designs out there for fly fishing, and I haven't the brilliance of mind to create one .

    I have about 25 flies in a normal-sized Altoids tin, and I could easily fit another 25
