I was talking to a mate yesterday who has been trying it out, he said it glows blue in the sunlight and then goes clear again in the water or somrthing like that. Hes pretty happy with it so far in the lighter line clases but hasnt been using it for long so only time will tell on how it performs in the next few months of hard fishing. Ill let you know.
Ryan, a mate mentioned that their mono was always a bit thicker than other brands which he thought would also apply to their braid. Good abbrasion resistance but a pain if you wanna cast with it... in saying that, I don't have to cast huge distances anyway.

IMO
Good braid but a bit thicker than other brands, in saying that thicker is better for wear and abrassion resistence so it has its place!
