I’ve used this line for Giant Trevally fishing in tropical waters. The low stretch and stiffness help with strip sets, and the SlickCast coating makes casting feel effortless. Very reliable in high temperatures.
Boris Smith –
Good performance overall. The line casts well and the head loads the rod effectively. A bit stiff at first, but it settles into a good lie on the water after a few casts.
