I use it exclusively now. When punching mats it has a unique feature... It's nearly as quiet as mono or flouro when going through. Ever hear that "whooshing" sound other braids make when going through a mat? Kazen doesn't make any noise. It whispers through and gets more reaction strikes imo. Knot strength is really good but just like with any braid an extra loop or drop of glue never hurts. Another thing I've noticed is that wind knots from, especially on spinning reels, are highly reduced using this stuff in the smaller diameter lines 20# etc. The last thing I'll say is that the quality control at Seaguar is second to none. I haven't had a single bad spool of braid, mono or flouro EVER!!!! And I go through a TON of line!! Try some, you'll never go back!
