I'm with you O. I use big game on my level and Ande on my spinny. I also did not care for the noise that the braided lines make while traveling thru the guides either and are not thrilled about overrating any of my rods.

I have noticed one thing about Ande line. If the spools are not a dark green and appear a bit bleached I will not buy the spool. The reason being the darker spools out perform the faded ones. Have you clued into this O because I swear that it's not my imagination. Do you suppose ultra violet rays have anything to do with degradation of those faded spools?

FJ...out.
