I’ve used this wire for several weeks on trout and bass. It holds up well under bites and doesn’t feel stiff. The fly moves naturally in the water, which improves my casting and presentation. Easy to tie with standard knots.

Great flexibility and durability. The nylon coating prevents rust and the wire stays strong even after repeated use. I prefer it over single strand because it doesn’t feel rigid.

Works well for my predatory fish setups. The 40 lb version is a bit thicker, but it’s still very flexible. I haven’t had any issues with knots coming loose.
