I can see why this line is so pricey. Usually I have to wait a little while after I spool line before it gets tangled but this came pre-tangled! I had everything ready to go, just took off the two ties keeping it organized and went to start reeling it in and it was already tangled, not due to anything I had done. What a waste of money.

Solid Performing Line
A solid performing line, I have bought this one many times, not too expensive and it does what it’s meant to do. Rio makes great products, you could spend more but honestly why.

Pretty Good For The Price.
Bought this line yesterday. 5#. Put on a tapered 2x 9ft tippet and tied on 2x 6ft tippet onto a 14# wooly bug. The welded loop blew out while casting the streamer. The whole leader, tippet and fly crashed into my face on my third cast. Needless to say I was extremely surprised. Otherwise it seems pretty solid. I clipped the loop off and nail knotted a few feet of 0x and put a perfection loop on the end for attaching knotless tapered leaders and it casts well enough until 50 feet or so and then we got some issues bending the larger streamers or wind resistant flies out to a greater distance. I am curious to see if other people report durability issues or if I just got a bad one. Seems like it’s gonna have memory issues too.
