I love Super 8 Slick and prefer it to the standard Power Pro braid... yes, it has some potential cons such as sometimes a very remote chance of the hook point piercing it in half, yes, it's happened! But not often at all and it's well worth the potential that doesn't normally happen when you have such smooth casting and retrieving. My lures, including weightless senkos, cast a country mile on a baitcaster (Lew's) set up just right with hardly any effort at all! I love this line!
