I'll post on this line any time someone ask. It is junk and do not use in tourneys! When it first came out it would shred when you tighten down the knot. Company said they had a bad batch - and they are in the line business! What gets me is the pros who are sponsored by this line fishing for 100k! Maybe it is okay now but I will never find out. Good luck with it but it is the worst I ever seen. You get what you pay for works with this line

I've had no problems with it. It tends to have a little bit of memory when you first put it on. 15 lb has the same diameter as 17 lb.

From my experience I've broken off a lot with 15lb Vicious and very little with 15 lb P line 100% Floro. Both were used under the same conditions and on the same equipment. Palomar knots on both.

I am currently using Vicious Flouro and mono. I have not had a problem with either line. The only time I had any sort of issue was when I sprayed some Reel Magic on a spool of flouro. Line kept breaking right above the knot. I tied the knots 6 or 7 times and just put that rod down. I now use their Line Conditioner and spray my spools each night before I go out. It really helps with the memory and stiffness. Mono can be a little spongy, but it is pretty strong. 12# and under flouro is not nearly as stiff or have the memory like the 15# and higher.
Not saying it is the greatest line, but for in my experience with the line it is pretty good for the price.
