You learn to adapt and use it for certain situations. Kick'n Bass - www.kicknbass.com https://www.facebook.com/KicknBass.Fish.Attractants www.rodarmorz.com www.blakemorelures.com

Tied the same crank bait on stern 10lb low visibilty green caught one first cast go figure. lose crankbaits and catch fish. loose no crank baits catch no fish! If ain't hangin up you ain't fishing

I have no problems with it and can cast it farther than mono plus it has great sensitivity. I like it for wacky worming because it tends to float on the water so I can se it tick if I get a bite and dont have to feel the bite when it is super windy. I do hate fluorocarbon though
