I hear a member bought some
I hear a member bought some and found out that it broke under test, wouldn't knot properly and then threw it out.
I'd get something else, probably just about anything else.

That's great mate
What a relief that will be for you. It is pretty hard to get around to the fishing spots everytime you want to without some wheels.

Well ive bought the 40lb and
Well ive bought the 40lb and 100lb for bottom bouncing and sambo jigging. Pretty bad stuff, doesnt have the oily feel like good braid does and snaps like stiff cotton. I recommend not getting it and spend a bit extra for good braid. Im using two reels spooled with 50lb tournament braid from anaconda i got for $62 for 2 spools which has lasted me multiple sambos and still going strong. Also on my bottom bouncing reel im using that new dacron stuff from rovex. Its braid with 13% mono in it which is so much better for tying knots as braid has absolutley no stretch in it so you may have found previously when you tie your leader to it, it can sometimes be hard. The dacron stuff works a treat yet still gives you the ability to feel the nibbles from fish in 120m of water. Hope that helps:)
