I'm going to move this over to the main fishing board where you might get some more input ... mine? Tried it for a spell and gave up on it. Broke off more fish in the ourse of a month than I normally see over a couple of seasons ... and there was no rhyme nor reason to the break-off's: on hook-sets and playing fish, at the know one time, in the middle of the leader the next, and then at the hook the next one. Was not impressed ... sent the spool back to the mfg. with a note. They sent me a different kind to try ... haven't had the guts to tie anything up with it yet
