It also seems to have a little more stretch, so when yoyoing, i wasnt getting good hooksets and lost quite a few yellows on the iron cuz they werent hooked. Blue Izor is your friend, cherish it.

I concur with patrick/esdees. A decent yellow, hang ups on the bottom wrapped around the rubberized handle of pliers, hang ups in the kelp and countless bonies and cudas last week and 40 lb ande is still going strong. It's all in personal preference though.
