I haven't used it with the surface baits, just the Ospreys and stuff- I like how it casts and the confidence of throwing 50 or 65 lb. test. I was thinking it might be more visible and discourage bites, but I have had fish eat it in clear water like Dixon and LMV. The rods I throw the big baits on are all extra fast, so I wonder about the lack of stretch, but I think the trailer hooks on the pro-rigged soft baits allow for a pretty good hook-up ratio. I've done well so far, but I need to get bit more to really tell!!! It is nice when the fish is hooked, especially in weeds and stuff, as you own that fish. Wouldn't throw a frog on anything else. Thanks for your input guys, anyone else have any thoughts? I fish a lot of flouro in the salt, but I'd rather skip the braid to flouro knot, so I've been straight tying it. The uni to uni has been great to me overall though. Got some big albies throwing the powerpro with a 4' or so flouro leader. it was a pisser wrapping the 65 pound PP around my sweatshirt to bust an Osprey off a wire dock cable, it is strong!!
