Thanks Mr. T,
I was using Vanish for leader and Maxima for main line. I am an experimentor at heart so I'll do some testing here at home where I don't stand the chance of leaving a hook in a fish. I've lost fish before, that's just part of the game. I whack a hatchery fish once in a while but I stopped taking natives almost twenty years ago. Didn't even get a look at the two I lost and certainly didn't get to check their origins so it bugs hell out of me just thinking about a steelhead wearing a Gamakatsu and two feet of leader. Do you think you hook more fish using it? The takes I had were solid so I think it is evvective stuff.
