Has anyone used the new Tuf Line XP? If so do you see an advantage in using it over the other "TUF LINE" products?

Thanks for your help!

XP seemed to be much smoother casting from what I saw. I used 80lb and never had any problems. Its a step up from the regular line that I have trusted for so long. I am switching to all XP this season.

The 20# XP is on all my spinning reels now. It has no memory and is MUCH faster than 14# fireline. I just bought a 300 yard spool of the 30# XP and it dosen't seem too much bigger. Good stuff![:bigsmile:]

I'm a big fan of Tuff Plus. We got some cheap at the Chicago show last year and I loved it. This year I got 10 spools @ Thornes when they put it on sale. I like it most because it doesn't hold the water that regular Tuff does. That's a great benefit when it gets late in the season.

It's the XP for me. No more messing around with anything else. I really like that Tuff XP. Limited stretch, about half way in between regular Tuff and Power Pro. Does not seem to hold any water, great for those cold days.

I used to use tuff line, and it is a good line. I used tuff plus a few times and the 100 lb test kept breaking. Not a good line in my experience. Tuff line xp I used this year and really liked it. It will be on most of my reel next year.

I had been a die hard tried and true Cortland Spectron user until I spooled up one reel this fall with some 80lb XP that I got for a door prize.

I am going to be buying a 300yd. spool of XP and trying it on several more reels.

Actually the more I look at XP the more I think it's the old Ultra-cast repackaged...either way it's nice stuff.
