As of now only problem I see in it is me, I do not WANT to stop fishing,I WANT TO GO fishing EVERYDAY from daylight to dark.I cann't sleep at night,I twist and roll b/c I can still feel the thump and hear the braid singing its song to me when fish on.The braid on a Z02 sounds just like bill's baitcaster when he fighting green carp when he's useing braid.Even the little 11 spincast has its own personal sound and feel lol.I tried braid years ago but like most people back then went with a bigger test when I should have.I had problems with it back days ago when bass fishing and never could tie that knot worth a hoot.When I told my fishing partner I was going to try braid he advised me to get 30/8 which I did.Him being a first class bass fisherman he thought thats what I should use.So much for bass fishing fisherman thinking they know everything,it worked ok on the 11 and Z02 but I wasn't after 30 lb. fish.Sneaked off to the fishing store without fishing partner and got me some 10/2 and 10/3.This stuff is like a dream come true to me,would you believe I'm still useing the same rod and SAME knot as the day before.I fish alot of brush and get hung up at times when I miss judge a spot.With mono I had to retie offen b/c the line knot would not standup to that kind of treatment.Plus sometimes a 2 lb. BIG green carp would break my line when useing cat gut.Don't get me wrong I've landed some big fish with 4lb. cat gut but the brush will weaken it in short order.For the last two days I've only fished with one rod one color lure and 10/2 braid.I have caught several fish,hung up in brush and trees with the same knot.That right there is a blessing to me plus the extra treat you get with feel and sound not to for that THUMP with instant hookup.
I'm not trying to sale this stuff just my thoughts only,it will cost more to spool your reels.In the long run I think the cost will be cheaper b/c I respool with cat gut several times a year.Heck I don't know but this stuff may last for years b/c its just now showing some wear around the knot.
