I haven't tried it or heard from anyone that has. Its time for me to
respool several spinning reels and i want to give it a try. The price is
very good. But what about the product?

Any opinions?

It's not bad. Even the "finesse" line had exceptional abrasion resistance,
and its memory isn't too bad either. I prefer Yozuri Hybrid -- but the
price difference is beyond substantial. The Rapal line is very good for the
price.

i did not like it much, but did not really give it much of a test. we had
several breakoffs on hybrids fishing 12lb and took it off and pitched it.

What i'm really looking for is a line similar to berkley ultra thin. I
want to stick with a thin diameter mono. In the spring -I've been using
12 lb test for burning #5 rattlin raps and 1/4oz traps. I also want to
be able to finnese small F#7 rapalas. Not really heavy cover here just a
bit weedy.

The LMB i been getting into run from 4lbs to 5-1/2lbs (they ave at
4-1/2lbs). I had some break offs using 10lb ultra. I2lb ultra thin
handled the job great without any break offs. But it looks like ultra
thin has been discontinued.

Any recommendations on a line that is similar.

Spring is a coming!

My favorite mono line has become Stren Extra Strength. I have had lots of
success with it.
