Default New Fishing Line (Sufix and Seaguar)

I started using Seaguar on my C-rig leaders after reading one of Warren's
posts about it.I was using Trilene XT green but the rocks and stumps on the
bottom here were chewing it up,and usually I found out too late that it
needed to be changed.
I know the Seaguar is stronger,less visible,and a lot more abrasion
resistant.

Has anyone else tried this new line?

I picked some up at ICAST last week and got around to spooling it up last
night on my night fishing rod. This is the Clear/Blue Fluorescent line.

Since I have a night tournament coming up next weekend, I want to try it

out
before getting on the lake, then regretting it if it didn't work right. As

I
was spooling it up, I noticed that it didn't have the "white" look to it

as
Stren does. It really looked clear, even when held in the light of a lamp.

I
was worried that the spool had been marked wrong, so after dark I went out
to the boat and hooked up the black lights to see if it would glow. Sure
enough, it did... and really stood out in the darkness.

I'm heading out to the lake Tuesday evening to see how it performs in the
water. If it acts the way I anticipate... I think I've found a new brand

of
fishing line.

I also picked up a spool of their Tritanium which is very clear too! It's
not the fluorescent line, and is super clear. Also, very little stretch

that
I can tell for now.

As for the Seaguar (http://www.seaguar.com/store.html?p=5)... has anyone
used this for freshwater? It appears to be a pretty decent line too, but
I've never used a pure fluorocarbon line before.
