"Great Product!"

Review: This stuff is awesome. Strong, thin diameter that allows me to have enough backing when needed. Yeah it's more than Dacron for sure, but if I'm fishing around coral, Dacron is worthless and can cut like butta. SA Ultra Premium UHMW-PE at 50# test is amazingly strong. Never skimp on your backing when it comes to a trip of a lifetime!
