Reviewed by: Mike ,  40 days a year

Summary:
I would buy the line again because when the line is up it does not seem too difficult to cast and is fairly flexable.It sinks faster than a rock, and that is one reason I purchased it.

Strengths:
Down fast!

Weaknesses:
Because of its quick sink its hard to pick up for the next cast.Guess thats a trade off.

Customer Service:
Read in a few places the line has a tendency to crack. I have had mine a year and have not seen a problem.(fresh water use only)

Body of Water:
cape cod --

Summary:
I can think of no better casting fast sinking line.

Strengths:
with this line if you drop down a size you can shoot just about the whole line very easily. Sinks like a rock. 250 grain on 9wt and 350 on 10wt.

Weaknesses:
If you don't keep the line dressed at all times you get spaghetti knots. Others have said that this line deteriorates. Thankfully this hasn't happened to me and I've had the line for two years.

Customer Service:
Not needed

Summary:
I've had 8-11 weights of the same product of shooting heads. Every single one has deteriorated excessively in just under 1/2 of a season of fishing. Orvis better redesign the coating around the heads, I'm looking for another product.

Strengths:
Sinking ability is fairly good

Weaknesses:
Breaks down rapidly in the salt after little use. once line cracks in one area, it spreads down the line like a disease.
