I’ve used this line for several seasons now and it holds up well under heavy use. The cast distance is impressive, and the line doesn’t tangle even after many shots. The large front loop makes setting up my shooting head quick and easy.

Great durability and smooth shooting performance. The coating stays intact even in windy conditions. I appreciate the welded loops—no more fraying or slipping when rigging.

Solid performance for long casts. A bit stiffer than some other lines, but that’s expected with the Powerflex core. The tangle resistance is excellent, and it feels reliable in the field.

Used it with my Scandi head and it worked perfectly. The line shoots easily and stays in place without kinking. The front loop is large enough to slide the coil through without any hassle.
