I used it last weekend with mixed results. I will be taking it off before my next trip. It cast's very far, but other then that I wasn't a fan. I had a few Birds nest, and it's been a long time since I had one of those on a spinning reel. They were pretty bad. Also I snapped my line twice. It broke at my knot, both times were snags in some lily pads. The worst part about the line in my opinion is that it has little abrasion resistance. I noticed the line fraying and splitting after contact with anything in the water.
