    Anyone ever use this line? I bought a bulk spool of 15# – 3000 yards for $5 bucks even though ive never used it but figured at least i have tons of cheap backing. How does it compare to p-line fluoroclear? They are both co-polymers but couldnt find a website with a direct comparison. I am hoping to test it out before ice out but wanted some input on performance. Thanks.

    I’ve tried that line, and even though I love their products, I’m not a big fan of that particular line. Too much memory and too stiff. It may make great leader material for carolina rigs.

    I use the Flouro-clear and CX Premium. That’s GREAT line!

    I tried it for my slip bobber rods. Like Blue said, way too much memory. It jumps right off the reel.

    Same deal for me, way too much memory! However, I would tie my tag end to a tree, walk back 100 yards or so and strecth the line, then wind it back up. I would then spray my spool with reel magic. That helped the memory issue a lot. It is a really tough line…super abrasion resistant, but it is not too limp and the memory thing can drive a guy crazy. Just my two cents.
