Switching to a 7" shakey worm setup, I really wasn't impressed with the sensitivity. Although I could slightly feel the bait as it moved through grass in 15ft of water, it didn't seem to perform like the Yozuri Hyrid that Ive used in the past. I quickly switched gears and went with a RC 1.5.

After 30+ casts, it's still like new.

Durability / Strength: After spending 3 hours with this line, and over 150 casts, I tested how well it held up over time. I couldn't get it to snap even when the rod was fully loaded.

If this were mono, you would have already cut and retied a few times by now.

A real durability test with the shallow RC 1.5.

Up close, you can see one small nick in the line, which was the only visible damage I could find.

It easily withstands our 10lb test rating,

Final word: I think Berkley has really come up with a winner. The line was extra tough, even after using it for so long, and in tough conditions around rock, timber, and vegetation. It could be used in many different styles of fishing, but it really excelled with crankbaits and weightless worm fishing (Senko). Way to go Berkley!

Advantages:

Super strong

Sensitive was good

Many applications. Grass, laydowns, etc.

Huge improvement over Vanish. Good job Berkley.

Disappointments:

$20 a spool??!!!

200 yard spools?!?!

Overall Score:  8.1
