Sunline Defier Armilo-discontinued?

[Huckfinn38]

Tacklewarehouse has this as clearance and Sunline has it marked to $11.99. Is this line being discontinued?  
I was going to order some from Sunline but they want to charge $23 for shipping…

Maybe they are reformulating it or changing the packaging. This happened to Machine-gun Cast, which was a good thing. 

 

It's great line but pricey.  I hope it has not been discontinued.

Not bad. It's not as long lasting as Defier Armilo and it's brown but I like it for crankbaits and some topwater. It does cast really well and has good knot strength.

Doesn’t look good the 11# is gone🤬

They're doing away with Dbraid too.  Always wanted to try it, but never got around to it.  Supposed to excellent.

I live the 11 lb for cranks

Is it possible Morizo Shimizu is no longer with Sunline? Did he retire?

I hope it stays...slowly been converting my bottom contact rods to all armilo. Going to have to start the search again if not.

I use the Sunline Defier Armilo as my topwater line of choice south of the border. (19/22 lb)

Great line IMO. 

btw - there's this - https://sunlineamerica.com/products/shooter-defier-armilo/

During your search - check out Maxima Ultragreen Line.

IMO just about on par with the sunline offering.

Thanks @Dwight Hottle

 

Recommend going DOWN a test as the Ultragreen seems sort of over tested,

diameter wise. So I use 8 when I would normally use 10 (especially in FC) and I use 6lb when I would normally use 8 lb.

But is every other respect provides everything a basshead needs & wants in a quality mono.  Mainline or leader.

@A-Jay Thanks for the recommendation. That line was actually on my list to test at one point but the Armilo worked so well I never do. The Ultragreen and a Suffix offering or 2 are on my list if Armilo goes away.

 

By the way....where do I get some of that Infinity # test Big Game????
