Man there is lot of difference in the braid. I'm not a guy that likes pumping my products. I just build good gear that fisherman will like. But for one thing I almost got my braid were it will not tip wrap at all. Most Hi-Viz braided line fades very bad. My braid fades also but not as bad. I think every batch we make gets better and better. Also we try keep our products at a better price. Maybe some guys that fish it will get on here and tell their reviews. When building a good braided line its all in the weave, line tension when weaving and Dye. So far we have not had one complaint. We have also not heard of any guides getting torn up. We are very pleased with what we have built and from here its just going to improve. Thanks Josh
