So far i'm impressed. I ordered both the Yo-Zuri braided line and Nomad Design Panderra X4 Line - 300 yd. - 40 lb. - Multicolor to compare. Both are braided colored line 40 pound, but the Nomad seems to be a little bit more flexible and limber when spooling is get on. Right now I like the color design of the nomad blue and black and white, a little better. I think it will work better trolling in Lake Michigan, but ask me at the end of season if the Yo-Zuri green red yellow blue and red color pattern is better. I don't have line counters and want them to track the amount of line I have out on planar boards, or down an out on a dipsy.
