I was looking forward to your review Dave as you fish in the harshest conditions up there and would pull no punches. I am glad you liked the line and it held up to some of the hype mentioned here. Thanks for taking the time to post and the heads up on tying a thicker leader and a uni. I haven't had this issue, but I only use 8 and 10lb Flouro.
As for the coating Kickingfrog, on the reels I have spooled up it since last spring I have yet to show any loss of coating. Even on my jerkbait set up and it gets a work out in the fall.
