Thank you for your interest in our fine RECOIL guides. Spectra can absolutely used with RECOIL guides it is actually my preferred line when I am down at the shore here in New England casting swim baits and plugs along the rocks.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

Have a great day.
