Comments: My favorite flipping/pitching/punching braid. Thinner than the rest and so strong too. 30-50lb has never let me down! And it's sweet to have 50lb strength that is as thin as most companies' 30lb - cuts like butter flipping milfoil, coontail, mats, and pads, especially ~

Comments: I fish the 15 lb on spinning gear. This is just a great fishing line. It really punches up. It's smoother and quieter than many more expensive lines. It's very sensitive. I usually fish it to a 6-8 lb monofilament leader, but also sometimes to a fluorocarbon one. I tie an Albright knot as my connection not usually. Very smooth braids often require special care with connection knots, but this one has had no problems with either type of leader. Love the super bright color for those finicky bites you have to watch for instead of feel. This factor for me isn't a big deal, but the color does rub off on your fingers a little bit. I haven't had the horrible bleeding problems some other reviewers mention. The line doesn't look noticeably different from the day it went on the spool months ago, and I fish a lot. It's bright anyway, so it isn't like it's becoming more visible to the fish. Very happy with this stuff.

Comments: Solid line. Was a V2 guy for many years and decided to give this a shot after comparing line diameter. Got to fish with the 8lb for a couple long days and had nothing but a great experience with it. As far as noise goes, didn't really notice a huge difference but I'm not using this in 50lb test punching mats so I can't speak for the heavier stuff. Nonetheless, if you are looking to get the longest casts possible on spinning gear then this line is hard to beat. No issues with color bleeding, coming apart or breaking in the 24 straight hours I beat the crap out it. In fact, I done bought 5 more spools of it if that says anything.

Comments: Tried this recently and it was not smooth and incredibly loud going through the guides. Can't say this about my usual go-to braid. Live and learn.

Comments: Love this braid on my spinning gear , strong , no memory , and cast a country mile !

Comments: line is terrible for the $... used 10lb on spinning setups and the color literally rubs off the line onto all your guides and pole near guides. that leads to it actually turning the leader yellow! not to mention, the line begins to come apart on itself (like some strands unwind while others don't), making it look bunched up on itself and frustrating the user... won't buy again.

Comments: Zero issues with this braid in both of my spinning rods (10# and 15#). Outcasts both the Vicious braid and the 832 that I previously used. Color has not run like mentioned in other reviews and I have had zero kinks or knots. This is my new favorite braid!

Comments: Been out three times with this new line. So far so good. Easy casting, few overruns and wind knots.
From: Redgoby: Ohio 4/16/20
Comments: Line knotted up when casting 4 times within 30 mins. Also the color runs off on your hands and rod
