Initially I was impressed with Spiderwire's Super Mono XX, but after several
months of using it I have lost confidence in it.

The knot strength seems to be the issue.

From a positive perspective it seemed to handle abrasion very well. Great
diamater and castability. I have several spinning reels spooled up with
their 12lb line. The stuff is indistguishable from 6lb mono in older
styles. I would have to say it casts as well as Trilene 8lb XL. Thats
saying a lot for 12lb line from anybody.

I have certainly caught a number of fish on it, but I have had one break off
at the hook in open water. It was a good size fish. I initially wrote it
off as a being big and my own over horseing the fish. After some time to
reflect I have to say my opinion has changed. Yesterday when I was out
fishing with Joe and Lannes Joe had a problem with a rod I handed him
spooled with Super Mono. Each time he tested his knot it broke. I stripped
off some extra line and carefully tied on for him with a wetted trilene
knot. It broke as soon as Joe gave a good tug on it. It was not
particularly old line, and it had no nicks.

So while I love the castability and diameter of the line I am afraid that I
he decided to reembark on the journey for the perfect line. I may be
looking for at a hybrid line or a flouro carbon.

Small diameter. Lots of durability. Great castability. Low visibility. The
saga contiues...

Yes I know how wonderful Power Pro is, but it definitely is not low
visibility even magic markered black.
