I saw the new release by Berkley into the super braid market this weekend at River's End. It is very similar in feel to the original Whiplash. I brought this up to the rep, and he said it's basically a "better Whiplash". He said they made the lighter stuff less likely to run into wind knot problems as they had on the original stuff, and the higher tests are more durable. Everyone I showed it to agreed that it might fit the void left by Whiplash.

The price should be on par with other braid as the 300 yard 50# is around $30, and the 1200 yard 50# is about $90 - $99. As Whiplash was my favorite braid of all time, I'll be sure to pick up a spool of this as soon as it becomes more widely available.
