I've been using it for years I think it's fantastic, haven't had any problems with it, like always every time you catch a fish, you should check your leader just in case it's rubbed on anything or the fish has cut through it a little, use it, you'll find out your self and make your own opinion it will be good to hear what you think of it.

I find its good leader, i use that and sunline hard , Haydens seems to be a fan of v-hard but i have heard to many bad reports (can be stiff and brittle is what i heard)

I've had no dramas with it, but have only used it in 6lb. For 5lb leaders and below I use Nitlon fluoro, never ever had a drama with that.

Remind me to not go wherever you caught fish that size in albs Haydo! Didn't know they made them that small there
Like I say I've only used 6lb, but it's been pretty decent. I've tried a lot of leaders and it was definitely in the upper half of the selection.

Love this leader.

More than one occasion has 4lb been wrapped around 3 snags and have still managed to get the fish.

i think you got a bad batch Haydo according to the comments here. It happens and is something that will happen every now and then.
Madeye, I tested it out against various breaking strains and is super strong!! Need to give the abrasion a test though, looks like next sesh will be in the Murray
