Am I the only one on the planet using this line? it's been really good to me, holds it's shape nicely, spools well, and picks out of a backlash easily. No problems of any kind.

I bought some on closeout for $1 a spool but haven't used it. I may give it a try this fall since you give it your blessing. Does it hold a lot of water? Some braid will soak up water more than others.

some of the first stuff I used for muskie, on a spinning reel, actually (remember the first Cass lake outing?). It did fine on my big Penn reel.
I just don't come across it in my area at any of the stores, and since Spiderwire treats me so nice, I use that because it's available. m

Of course they still make Gorilla Braid, it's great line. No, doesn't seem to hold alot of water at all.

I wish I would have known about that closeout, I'd have bought 50 spools.

I use it on my spinning rods for bass. Not bad stuff.

I use it on my jerkbait rods, I like the low stretch, and the sensitivity. You get a very good sense of what your bait is doing. I still prefer Masterbraid on my crankbait/bucktail/topwater rods.

I tried it eons ago and my line frayed and I had a cast off. It was probably my rod/reel at the time...I'm not sure. I prefer PowerPro now.

Must have been, I have no problems with fraying at all.
