Default mystery line...any help?

Hello, I recently bought a g tec spare spool from ebay with a blue line on it. It seems to be an intermediate as it sinks around 1.5 inches per second, just wondering if anyone can hazard a guess as to what line it could be? Seems a good line, casts well, no memory at all. Could have a nice suprise as the spool was a bargain. welshy

Can you see the inner core of the line and is it a deep blue?

If so, likely to be a cortland blue line - brilliant lines indeed!


Lighter, solid blue is likely to be a Shakey W as per 3lb's post above.

I have both but do love that cortland line
