MA, thanks for the heads up.

The last thing I want during my treasured time in the Q is downtime or lost fish. I think I'll stick with my tried and true XL or XT as it's rarely (if ever) let me down.

I can't help but wonder if P-line has reformulated around the water absorption issue / tensile issues with their new FC offerings since your bad experience a few years ago. With all the improvements in the past several years to reduce memory, improve castability, etc., something tells me you weren't the only person to have knot strength issues related to waterlogged line, and maybe they've addressed that as well.

Regardless, I think I'll leave my evaluations to the trout streams until I know for sure.
