Sorry, I have to disagree with the assessment of Izorline ... I gave it a whirl and found it to be OK out of the box ... the two things I noticed right away: 1) after stretching ... say busting off on a snag by pulling it free ... the remaing lines was very unstable, often breaking in any old place at much lower force than initally seen and 2) poor abraision resistance ... especially on the rocky coastal rivers. Personally, what do I run??? Steelhead: 12 lb. Fibreglow ... WA fall salmon and first run fishing here in AK: 25 lb. Fibreglow ... second-run king fishing here in AK: 40 pound Fibreglow ... guess which line I like??
