Two words, love it! I use this line all year long. from the surf, back bays and Bass fishing up to 30 feet deep. Once you get use to casting this line you will be able to shoot it a country mile with just a couple of false casts. As for its sinking abilities it does have a good quick sink rate. One more thing, with your ability to get some longer casts out there long line hook up are pretty tuff to keep a fish on because of the line stretch. Hope this helps. Later
