I spoke to Ande last Fall and, no, they are not discontinuing Back Country.
I have used everything in the last 30 years and the Ande Back Country is by far the best mono I have used. I have it in a VS250 and Shimano Calcutta 400. Great resistance to abrasion, stays limp in cold weather and very little memory.
I have been using a new braid this year. It's Cortland Master Braid and it super on conventionals. Very smooth and it seem like I am getting 20+ yards more distance. It's a bit pricy. I paid $44.00 for 300 yard spool. It's modeled after the old Spectron that Cortland came out with in the early 90s but much improved.
