I enjoyed using the Iron Silk. I found just as mentioned here that when
there is significant pressure put on it, it breaks. Additionally the
knots do not bind well. Not sure why, but it does cast excellently.
Personally I think that it is better than Sensation, I have had very
poor luck with Sensation.

Steve - Since you mentioned the raving endorsement of Power Pro... Do
you ever have troubles with smaller diameter Power Pro (Like 20lb)
pulling through the fold of worm hooks (@ the eye)? I have lost more
fish than I care to remember because of the line pulling through the
fold in the hook. I pull my line out and I have a beautiful Palomar
knot with no hook or sinker.

Apologies in advance for posting on another topic, I will repost if
desired, with appropriate subject.

What is this line exactly? It doesn't look like mono, but its definitely
not a braid or is it?

I got a spool of 14 lb in a pack for joining something, and I finally gave
it a try today. It casts very well, has little memory, and seems to be
pretty tough except that it broke at the knot and cost me a fish and one
of those expensive Secret Weapon spinner baits. I tied on another spinner
bait and cast it for another hour. Didn't get any bites, but I did snag
it up several times, and it seemded to be plenty strong enough.

Anybody use the stuff? Got any opinions on it?

I've tried a lot of different lines over the years. I've found that if it
isn't PowerPro, I don't fish it.

Call me hide-bound, call me set in my ways, but I keep trying other lines
and find that I have line twist issues, sensitivity issues, excessive
stretch and other problems. I keep going back to PowerPro.
