I've had problems with fusion on spinning reels it twists very easily.. worse line to put on a spinning reel. On a conventional it's sweet.. it shoots right out and doesnt burn thumb. I currently use the 80# fusion for COD fishing it's excellent. I used fireline for freshwater trout fishing never had a fraying problem considering all the rocks, stumps and brush in the water.
Dunno if it was just me but that spiderwire super mono is very deceiving.. requiring a spool change every other week.. i've found that saltwater/sun/heavy fish take a serious toll on that line.
I've found Hybrid to be very consistant outing after outing.
Leptar I was using 24 lb fusion on a spinning reel, a Penn Powergraph and I never had any problems with twists. I did like the line as far as handling and casting but did not like the breakoffs but maybe that was just the blues shredding my line and I should give it another chance.
