I just relined both of my steelhead reels with the Ande HiVis in yellow 12lb. I also bought a spool of 10lb Ande Flourocarbon. Both lines are really nice! The HiVis is awsome for drifting! It's very abrasion resistent and very visible even in low light.

The flourocarbon leader has the best dispensing spool I have ever used. Unlike a lot of flourocarbon it is very easy to get a good knot and I have had no complaints.

Many years ago I got a spool of Ande that was very brittle so I didn't buy it again for a long time. A few years ago I bought another spool and it worked great. My guess is that the brittle line was old line that sat on the shelf before I bought it. Just a guess. I've had that happen with Maxima too.
