Ok, now that the string trimmer selection and advice has been given,
whats the consensus on what the best line is?

I like the Husky pro line personally, followed by Stihl Premium,The so
called Titanium and other off beat brans typically sold at big box
stores generally sucks IMHO, except perhaps some of the shakespere
premium multi edge cut is fair to decent.

I by small rolls to try it before I spend the $$ on a 1000 feet of
what may be junk. I acquired a roll of .120" red line whose name I d9
not remember presently, and it was awfull. It would never ever break
justy keep stretching and welding itself to each other on the spools,
some real gawd awfull junk.....
I use some star shaped stuff. It outlasts the round by at least twice.
I had problems with the line welding itself together until I started
putting less in the spool. The spools I use say they can hold ten
feet. But with 8 feet they work great right down to the end. And they
are fast to load. The star line I use goes right through green
blackberry canes. For salmon berry and dried out blackberry canes I
use a carbide toothed skilsaw blade. The stock blade was a 4 coenered
affair that just beat stuff up.
