Had 50# on a VS250 this year. I liked it, seemed to cast a tiny bit further than regular but it also seemed more fragile. No wind knot issues here. Not sure if its worth the price difference of the regular unless its come down since the spring

had been using tuff line braid with no problems went to the 832 and was as good maybe a little better.no wind knot problems with either line.i mainly throw jigs or bucktails so less wind knot problems.was using 30 lbs in both cases.

I used the 40# during the spring as well on my em pro, liked it a lot, just too expensive for fishing line, and closest tackle shops dont carry it on the big spool, you have to buy a 140yrd(?) little package. weaksauce

something clever and related to fishing

Did they sell out? The only 600 yard spool I see at Amazon is actually a link to Cabelas. 80# test for $19.99 All the $34.95 spools that I see are 300 yards.
