Sorry can't answer that - I got 10lb. (supposed to be 2lb. diameter - they need to check their micrometers, I believe they need calibrated) and that is a greenish color. Zero memory from the looks of things. It does have some draw backs that I can see right off the back - special knots, need a knife or scissors to cut it - typical braid qualities. I'll over look those issues if it fishes as nice as it casts - does seem to add some distance to casting over mono.
