Well, I may as well chime in about it. Price is cheap and it looks good on eBay or whichever site you choose to buy it from. However, it is completely inferior to PowerPro in terms of the breaking strain/diameter ratio. The stuff I received was thicker than PowerPro of the same tensile rating and also broke with less force than the PowerPro "tensile strength equivalent. This is just my experience, you can read the pro test the line here:

It's like fishing with rope you buy at Dollarama. Not sure what it's made of. Sure doesn't feel like quality fiber.
