I say the backcountry is no better or worse than big game. Actually tried knot strength test pulls(snelled to a hook), and the big game breaks at a higher strength 4 out of 5 times. I know a couple guys here like it and have hyped it a bit, but the difference is negligible to me. I've used big game since they started making the stuff in the mid to late 80's and have never had a bad thing to say about it, or an unexpected failure. People like to switch tackle alot and trick themselves into believing there are qualities that don't exist. I think this is one of those cases. Having said that, I like the backcountry alot, but don't see an advantage to using it over big game.
