Sonny,
Got a chance to use it and it is awesome, Except ... It is difficult to get a knot to hold. Every knot I used (even the mighty Palomar) would pull out under the load of a quality fish (Bass). Finally found a solution ... Carry a lighter (wind proof) so you can melt the tag end creating a ball which will prevent the knot from pulling out. I was told that you could also use knot glue, but I don't trust glue and it is messy.
Hope this helps.

See Ya Soon,

Thanks for the tip Eric.  I usually tied a knot at the end of the line before trim it off to prevent knot slippage.  Burning the end of the line after finishing the knot will add "extra" safety margin  :smt003

Been looking for it for a few weeks and still haven't found it anywhere  :smt013  Thanks for the advice on the knot slippage Eric  :smt002  I specifically wanted to re-spool my drop shot rod with this stuff.  Usually tie a palomar, and run the tag end back through the top of the eye before attaching the weight.  So no way I can burn the tag, as its 8-12 inches away from the hook  :smt009  Maybe it wont slip with the tag going back through the eye?  Btw, does your store have it?  Mine still does not :(

If Eric's store doesn't have it, you can order it online but DO NOT order from FishUSA.com  :smt005

Sorry guys,
Only got a filler spool (150yd) as a sample.
If it comes in I'll be sure to post up.
