lol wow silver thread really... I actually put silver thread in the same category as vanish... but to each his own. I would go big game b4 silver thread...
The gliss looks interesting, but I'll let others work out the kinks before I change what I'm using it is working (braid and invisx)
If 75% of the pros switch to it this year... you have a sign lol

Why wouldn't' you use the higher pound test if they're the same dia. I like an 8/30 line.. Anytime I can get more for less, I'm on board. I'm trying it, but NOT in 18 lb test.

I tried Gliss but, I could never get the knot to hold. I ended up throwing it in the trash.

I hear ya. I fish bass 99% of the time, but I've landed a 46" Red, several over 40+, a 20 pound drum, and DD bass on Big Game. I get asked all the time about what line I use. I've never had probs with it, and I trust it for the style of fishing I mostly do. I try to avoid braid, but if in heavy timber at Falcon, I'll use braid, and put my BIG GAME back on when I get home. I've heard others don't like B.game, but whatever.....Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
