A company and owner you can trust to make it right for all of your fishing needs !
Update: I purchased the red version of this line and it was not a happy story. The line bled when it got wet. It turned my fingers red and bled on my reels...........I posted a 2 star review and was contacted by the seller Chad. He was VERY gracious and advised me that red is a hard color to produce for braid line. They had issues with the red braid bleeding. He promptly offered me a refund or an exchange for a different color. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and ordered 500 yds. of 30 # GREEN braid. He thanked me for the chance to make it right and sent out an order of the 30# green. NO CHARGE !!!!!!! The line arrived a few days later and I spooled up my Shimano Cardiffs with the new line. I use it for striper and fluke fishing at Sandy Hook, NJ.The new line is SUPER !!! No bleeding and strong as hell ! I would put this up against the competition any time, any day. AND, it is one third of the price ! This gentlemen is a standup guy ! AND, HE STANDS BEHIND HIS PRODUCTS.!!!My cousin was also impressed with the line. SUPER STRONG and very pliable.If you are looking for a quality product, from a company who offers outstanding customer service, Reaction Tackle and it's owner, Chad, are the REAL DEAL. They have a satisfied customer, AND a repeat buyer. JJP

Spend the extra money to get spiderwire or suffix 8:35
It's okay at best would not recommend this product we'll find other uses than fishing to use it up you get what you pay for. Updated, after being contacted by Chad at reaction tackle they replaced the line and the new stuff is working well I don't know if it was a bad spool or what the problem was but their customer service alone was worth giving them a second chance the new line is great and I will be using it thanks reaction tackle way to do business

A good company selling a good product.
Edit: I received my original spool and found a frayed knot halfway through. I cut it before the fray as it was pretty much full and the line worked well. But after posting my review customer service reached out and sent me a brand new spool free of charge. The new spool was without any defects. Color is good and doesn't bleed, diameter is good, good strength, doesn't have any memory to it, and casts very well. For the price it's a great deal, but with the customer service I received without even having to seek it out I'm sold. This is a company I'm happy to spend my money with.

I guess you get what you pay for...
Jury is out on this one. Just got it delivered and figured for the price (seems low compared to the competition), I should test it out and see how strong it is.Tied it to a 25 lb dumbbell to see if it would lift it off the ground. Nope, snapped. Tied it to a 10lb bar of lead and tried to lift it up. It lifted it up. Added another 10lb bar of left, didn’t lift it at all, snapped.Most tests out there for some of the top braids on the market end up having a breaking strength higher than the line rating. This one didn’t even lift its rating.Disappointed.UPDATE: I was able to use it and I had the line snapTwice. It didn’t break at the swivel or hook/sinker when snagged on the wreck. It broke somewhere in the middle, happened twice! Lost a bunch of line. Awful stuff.

Dye Fading/Bleeding Explained
I just received my first purchase of this line in 30# and put it on my Shimano Curado 300HGK reel. Of course I ran the line through my fingers while spooling, but ended up with next to no "dye" on my fingers.Overall feel and diameter consistency felt good, the short whit markers between colors is nice. I'm only giving the line a 4 right now, simply because I haven't used it yet.However I'd like to explain something. I manufacture rope. I make UHMWPE ropes from 1mm to 200mm in diameter. What I don't make is line small enough to make fishing line. UHMWPE is what this and almost all braided fishing line is made of.UHMWPE is the same molecule as those plastic bags at the grocery store, but the molecules have been re-organized so that they are more parallel, thereby increasing strength exponentially, while decreasing stretch.However UHMWPE is hydrophobic (it doesn't absorb water), therefor any colorant is merely a surface coating, it IS NOT ABSORBED INTO THE FIBER. As such, that coating (usually a urethane coating) is going to rub off.In UHMWPE ropes used in sailboat racing (which I do manufacture), colors start out quite vibrant, but within 6 months have "faded" to a mere pastel of the original color depth. It is simply the urethane coating rubbing off. In fact the UHMWPE ropes from some of the top quality yachting rope makers such as Samson are known for their coating coming off just from casual handling.While color fading/bleeding can be frustrating, it is NOT a sign of poor quality. It is the nature of the material.

don't hesitate this stuff is awesome
this stuff is awesome. I have been using braid for over 20 years and until now it's always been spider wire. Not any more this stuff is a lot cheaper and very strong. I put it on 2 eight foot surf rods with Shimano 6500 open cast and quantum 7000 open cast reels. i could cast past the break at the beach without wading easily. i used the 30 pound test and am very pleased. I caught a 20 pound bonnet head shark and it held up beautifully. I will be buying this stuff from now on.

Know your fishing needs
As i wrote before 30lb braid wasnt for my fishing needs but the company contacted and sent me a roll of heavier braid line which was 80lb test and was much happier with the strength of the line. But again they made it right just know 30lb braid may not be for me but maybe what your looking for again the 50lb-80lb is recommended for bigger fish in my opinion. This company seems to strive for happiness for the customers

Not What Is Asvertised
This item is far from what is shown from their pic (spool vs disc). I’ve bought 500m line before and they usually come on a spindle as advertised.I feel like I got run through with this one.I can’t return as I’m now abroad , so my advice is look at other vendors because what you see is not what you get.Also, it seems AMAZON does not police or review their suppliers, this is also a concern.

Supple braid - still to use.
5 stars so far. Item received before estimated delivery date even coming from the USA. Braid loaded on new reels, new rods ready and then LOCKDOWN happened so not had chance to use it yet. Braid is quite supple. Will see how it handles when on the bank.

Looks to be OK
Not used it yet, I intend to use it for hook link material. It's a fraction of the price of the "brands" and exactly the same stuff.
