TUF-LINE XPs state-of-the-art coating remains permanently bonded to the fibers, offering an incredibly long service life with zero shedding to become our best-selling braided superline
The rod lacks touch at short distances (15 feet or less), but this is less of a concern when throwing streamers and other wet flies
It's a nice reel but not smooth like my Daiwa steez reels..It feels as smooth as my met DC, so it really isn't a reel to sell your soul for

I saw this power prawn you are all talking about made from a Brazilian company wasnt really impressed with the looks of the lure had a very weird tail no Ill stick with my chasebaits flick prawn in jelly color that has a rattle and is totally weedless that with the exception of the reseted eyes that dont protrude like a real shrimp its a dead ringer for a live pink or white shrimp the only other shrimp on the market now that is more realistic looking is the live target but its not nearly as tough as the chasebaits and also lacks the action as well looks are great but without action its kind of pointless and in the winter when the water is cold any action even suttle makes all the difference in the world but Im talking about me and what works doesnt always work for others plus I have confidence in the chasebaits so I stick with what gives me that as well Yes, having good action in the water is the most important factor (otherwise a gold spoon would be a terrible lure)
