As most know I love ester lines. I have the new Lemoni spooled up and have fished it once. Too early to tell if it is more manageable. One issue I have with it is it’s stated breaking strength. I test all my lines I buy. The Lemoni 2.3# test breaks at 1.8 pounds. The first spool I had broke at 1.6 pounds. Varivas asked me to send the line back to them...at their expense of course....and they are sending it to Japan for analysis. I have been hitting the trout heavy. The Twitch Master is a keeper line for sure. I highly recommend it.

I know Randy G gave this rod a favorable review and I trust his judgment. Hopefully it gets here in about 2 weeks from Digitaka. The rod is the Major Craft Finetail FAX-632SUL.

Congrats on the rod. It is a great rod.....and looks good too.
