It's fluoro-coated mono so it has the castability of mono but the near-zero visibility and abrasion resistance of fluorocarbon. It's good stuff. I've used the 4-pound for trout fishing with good results.
The memory problem is what I'm afraid of, especially since I will be using either 6 or 8lb line. The P-Line Fluoroclear is a good thought... I'll have to check that out. Don't know if its true but I heard that it is a good bit thicker than comparable mono or pure fluoro (I'm guessing because of the coating).

I hear Seaguar INVIZX is pretty good. I also read that some guys swear by using line conditioner such as Reel magic or KVD line conditioner with it. Anyone have any experience with these?
