got some 15lb stuff on my quantum energy 3000. I don't mind the stuff but its prone to wind knots a fair bit I've got less than 60m left from 150m spool becasue I have had to cut off wind knots. You just need to keep top shooting ur reels, Ihave had it for around 2 years now too.
But overall I rate it fairly well.

You can get the stuff cheap too 300 yards for $40 at Mo's good value

Don't wanna make a mistake and buy it like I bought jerry brown line one! As recommended by a tackle store!

it's nothing like castaway, toray, varivas and any of those but for a cheap braid it's not to shabby but does not compare to the high end jap PE's

My mate used to have the cheap Kmart stuff on his setup and it kept breaking in random places. He got frustrated with it and bought super PE. I think that was the depth finder stuff, I'm too scared to try the Viros after that might be ok though?

I managed 3random breakages on the Kmart stuff using 15lb on a 2-4kg rod, mind you I was trying to slay a stingray, chasing herring it would be a good option from mono thou.
