Thanks FK, I received a line a month ago and wrote about it some before the trip to Idaho. In actual casting on a pond I found the line went through the guides with less friction resulting in either longer casts or less effort for casts of regular lengths. The surface resembles embossing and does not contact the guides as much as a normal smooth line. It picks up from the surface quite dry with the many obvious benefits of that. I also mentioned that it did not 'recoil' when cast straight out, a very important feature when fishing frog-water. I reported that it casts farther, smoother. stays clean longer, floats higher than any line I have ever cast. Some folks must find things wrong with everything to show their superiority, hence, the 'complaints' of noise. Someone once said the line is more important than the rod; still true.
