    I use it. Super slick for casting and holds tight knots.

    Haven't tried the "super slick" version ... but have been using the regular 10/2 hi-vis for several years >> no complaints.

    My -- on using braid :
    As with any braid, you'll need a pair of Child Size Fiskar Scissors & a wood dowel rod. The scissors cut the braid with a smooth, clean tag that is easier to put thru a hook eye ... the wood dowel is to wrap it around when you're pulling on it to free your bait from being snagged. Braid is so limp, that when you cut it with something that leaves the tag end ragged, it's very hard to get it to go thru a small hook eye, as it just wants to bend back. Braid will cut you, if you wrap it around your hand/fingers to pull a bait free from a snag. It can also cut into cork or foam rod handles, so I don't recommend wrapping it around them, either ... well, unless you have a graphite Tenn style rod handle, then you can get away with it. The dowel rod, a towel, or something similar that will substitute for your hand/fingers/rod handle, will allow you to pull hard enough to straighten the hook or break the line ... whichever occurs first.
