I've never used it but I have been using Seaguar's Carbon Pro in their 20#(swimbaits--15# for everything else) test for all my rigs for a few years now, even for topwater when I can keep the line above the water surface.

Well, since I have yet to catch a Bass on a swimbait, you might not want to 'listen' to me :-). The heaviest I've thrown is about 2 ounces and have had no knots(I use the Crawford knot) slip or fail on the cast. I do believe that f/c because of it being almost invisable, 'helps' when working the 'slower' swimbaits where the Bass may have a longer look at the bait.

The stren stuff really isn't good as a mainline, their are better flouro's out there to do the job if you want flouro. My preference is the Yo-zuri hybrid line. cz

Yeah, I've used Yo-Zuri in the past, but also use Stren and P-line. I've had no problem with memory with any of these. I also havent used any of these with swimbaits either. Ive used Yo-zuri and P-line for albacore mostly. Stren also claims to be more sensitive than other lines, but to me, it's the same. They make it a point that you can fish higher test line because of their invisibility, but I think P-line and others work as well if not better.
