 Major disappointment August 4, 2008
I put this line on a high-end fresh-water spinning reel, and after several months, used it for the first time. I lost two lures because the line broke while casting, and after the second cast the reel had the worst backlash I have ever experienced. And that was on a spinning reel!

For those of you old-timers (and I'm one of them) who think of "Braided Line" as the equivalent of "hemp rope" (like we used to use in the 60's), well, please think again.
This braided line is thin, has very little memory, comes off the spool like silk, is tough as Hades, does not absorb water and weaken, can stand up to high temps and sunlight and not lose its strength, and has NO stretch.
Need to set the hook ? If you have a tight line, and pull back on the rod, this line sets the hook as if you were using a steel cable: NO STRETCH !
It isn't as inexpensive as Stren or other "premium" monofilament lines, but it is cheaper in the long run.
I used to change my line at the start of every fishing season but now I don't need to. Sure, I usually do as part of my "ritual", but if we get a couple of warm days, and the fishing bug hits, ..... We're Fishing !
We don't need to worry about the Spiderwire being on the reels since last year .... this stuff is TOUGH !
There is one drawback: if you fish along the shoreline where there are trees, and try to send your lure/bait underneath overhanging branches, and ..... well, you aim isn't very true, and you wind up with you lure/bait in the tree, GOOD LUCK ! If you hang into smaller twigs or leaves, you'll pull it out. If you hook into a big branch, you better have a knife or nail clippers hanging to cut the line. You definitely don't want to try biting your line to cut it (unless you're Superman).
So ... get this line. We use 20 lb, moss green and catch fish ANYWHERE.
We fish out of the Current River (crystal clear) and the warning about "Don't let the fish see your line" doesn't, for some reason, apply to this line. I'm sure they must see it (I guess), but they must not care.
Again, you won't be sorry for purchasing this braided line.
 So far, so good. March 3, 2008

I've used the 15lb braid (4lb mono equivalent) three times now, and thus far, it's done well. VERY smooth (and silent) coming off the reel. No noticeable stretching in the line so far. My only concern is that, the first time I used it, I got a nick in the line when I hung up between some rocks. I'm continuing to use it with the nick in it, just to see how it holds up. I don't know if the hang-up I had was severe enough to cause a nick in braid this thick (I didn't think it was), but I'm still using it, catching mostly bluegills, and it hasn't caused me any problems yet. Thus far, I can easily recommend it.
