I havn't tried any of the free spool yet but i have tried some of there other supermonos. Wich i liked becuase of castability and low profile. Used it for sturgeon fishing off of bradford island using 20-25# test. The thing i would have to say is that it is not very good at abrasiveness, so if your driftfishing or anything that gonna rub on somethin i wouldn't use it. just my experience. Mike
