"Have only cast the line a few times myself, but a young friend of mine that has started representing scotland at junior level, and so uses his lines very often, states the line although good from new deteriorates very fast and has moved on to other brands pretty quick."
My experience has been the opposite with this line so far. It has held up better than my other fly lines (most of which are Rio and Sci Angler) over similar periods of time and has surprisingly required less cleaning (surprisingly both because of the ridges and because I'm moved from up North fishing relative clean trout streams to down South fishing mucky bass waters).
