For the past 2 years, I've used Spiderwire Fusion line as a bite tipped. I have never(NEVER) had a break off, cut off, nothing. Even the smallies in the same lake don't shy away from it. I use 50lb(20lb diameter) and it takes a knot great, even with a teflon coating. I inadvertantly hooked onto a dislodged swimming raft while trying to interest a pod of lurking smallies, but hooked the raft instead. I pulled it ashore with my deceiver firmly lodged in it's siderail,without a stretch mark, fray,nothing. I'll never go back to wire. I'd say what I really think of wire, but I'd rather not get banned as it IS a family oriented site. Maybe this will convince you as to bass not being shy on Spiderwire: [img] [URL=http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/mcmutt2/?action=view?t=Jamie-Smallmouth.jpg[/img] Jamie
