I have it in 16lbs from memory. one of the better fluoros i've used and no real problems. Casts reasonably for a fluoro.

I use the 18lb and can get a little over 80 yds with a 4oz lead if needed . But really use it at much shorter distances. As for using it with weed. Why would you want a line that could bed down in weed 🤷‍♂️. I prefer it to xline

Thanks , re weed I meant what was it like fishing close in with weed around and playing fish . IS the abrasion resistance decent ?

It's not about abrasion resistance. Fluorocarbon is not the line for fishing in weed. No benefits, some major disadvantages, the main one being it will bed in and lose you fish.

Yeah I really didn't find this fluoro abrasion resistant at all. 👎🏻
Are you sure?
