Thats a weird one as ive been using the 60lb clear stuff recently[admittedly over clean ground]and ive been impressed to date.It knots very well and easily and to me and a few of my friends its very like sakuma or the varivas but cheaper.Id better keep an eye on things just in case so.

Re: rovex line????
It knots very well,but kinks easily and has a slippery feel to it.When i used it initially it was on a uni knot shockleader knot which was perfect,but after tying a blast of traces ive come to the conclusion its just not as good as some other brands.I'll use it away but won't buy it again.
