Been using it since it a while now, have to say I'm REALLY impressed. Handles beautifully, sinks very well and has stood the test in a weedy/mussel venue admirably.

I was (still) looking for something like the old Shimano Catana, which I loved. I've compared the two, and I'm sure they're one and the same line!

Anyone else compared the two?

Now that sounds like great news !!!!!!!!!

as IMHO Shimano Catana was possibly the best all round mono ever made and I heard Shimano only dropped it because it was to expensive to produce
there have been some good mono`s produced since then of course but none quite as good
so if this new Solar BulletProof is as good or even the same line that would really be something to shout about

Also been using this since it came out and can't fault it! Behaved itself as soon as I spooled up and performed superbly.
Fished a social on a lake toward the end of the summer on a lake that is covered in BIG rough "boulders ", it took a real beating on the rocks and came back absolutely shredded in places but held fast.
Casts really well given its intended use.

I haven't been truly happy with a line since tech black original and then cm90. I bought the mile high line hoping it would be the one. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with it, found it suffers line twist really bad and didn't find it to be very limp at all. Combine the 2 and its a bit of a nightmare coiling off your spool

How.does the bulletproof fair in terms of line twist etc?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
