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.

I have to admit.I got caught up in the hype. I had a fish break me off on the BC 20 lb sat night.I really don't think it is as abraision resistant as the big game.I gave it a try.One of these days i will learn to dance wit the one i brung.Yes I am guilty of the sheeple principle.Live an learn.
