While it is one of the more expensive braided lines, it lasts much longer than several of the other braided lines I have used. So, the price difference evens out with fewer line replacements. The river I fish is a moving rock pile and I mean the sharp rock. The abrasion resistance of this line really surprised me. It also has a low memory even in Montana winters. I have fished with this line for a few years now and it has become my go to braid. I do recommend this line.
