STREN "Super Braid".....Believe me, works ohhhhhh so good. Purchased from Cabelas, 300 yds. was around $28.00, got the 20 lb test, 6 lb diameter, HI-VIS Gold.

1. Put on a Shimano Stadic 2000 before June 1 this last year.

2. Fished the same line, EVERYDAY, all summer long. June 1st - September 3, then had to go to CA.

3. No stretch, floats, no memory, stayed very limp.

4. Used with 8 and 10 lb Ande line for my leader material.

1st summer, I never lost a round cork bobber, that I use for my float. Sure I lost some jigs, on fish and snags but never broke the Stren Braid.

Negative comments.......

1. If you "mend" the line, have to be careful the line doesn't wrap around the upper guides.

2. 6 lb diameter is very "fine" for the eyes of a 64 year old. Sometimes the line would come off the spool and "knot up" but by taking my time.......got all the knots out.

I have Power Pro also, think they have the market share, cause they were one of the first. Stren worked better for me!!!!!!!
