[QUOTE="crewchief_chick, post: 440228, member: 21321"] I would go with synthetic. Wire is a major pain. It's prone to bird caging if not re-spooled properly, and the dangers of it snapping under load and causing injury is quite high. It's also heavy as hell. Synthetic line is super easy to dry out, wash, etc... Literally you can toss it in a laundry bag and throw it in a washer or a bucket with a plunger and clean it, then lay it out to dry before reinstalling. Yes, synthetic line can deteriorate under UV from the sun, but salt water is hell on wire cable too. [/QUOTE]
