I've been freshwater fishing almost every weekend and some week days since putting this line on my reels. The fish ranging from different catfish, bass, carp, pike, perch, even a few turtles by accident and it just pulls them in. The only thing I noticed with this line is the color is fading but the strength is still 100! Very impressive braided line in my opinion. I don't fish many big lakes just rivers and drains with heavy brush, rocks, and logs. With that said it rubs up on things but don't fray easy. I foolishly bought another braided brand on Amazon, and me thinking it's braid so it should be the same. Ha! What a joke! This line makes that other braided line look like 2lb mono. Bravefishermen sorry for ever thinking like that.
