[cool]I'd have to see it to believe it. Their whole pitch is that the red line disappears because red is filtered out in the water.
I am a diver as well as a fisherman. In the comments section of the website, divers claim the line DOES disappear. I have never seen anything red disappear underwater. The red simply turns to black as the water gets deeper. That's why underwater photographers use strobe lights when shooting anything deeper than a few feet. Everything turns to shades of blue or black and must be illuminated to show the true color.
I think I would hesitate to replace my favorite line (Silver Thread Excalibur) until I had some reliable reports on comparisons of: diameter, strength, and abrasion resistance. Hate to say it, but it almost looks like another one of those things designed to catch fishermen and not fish.
I await with bait on my breath for a good report. Anyone else wanna be a pioneer? By the way, the availability map shows Utah does not have a stocking dealer. It is distributed through Shakespeare. Cabelas has it in 300 yard filler spools for $4.99
