I was very frustrated with the line that I had on my 12'6" 6 weight switch rod. The rod did not load correctly and the line was falling in a ball in front of me. When I got the Wild Water line I had a little problem with the amount of backing I had on the reel as the line is 120' long. After removing most of the backing I was able to fill the reel correctly. Today using it for the first time for Stripers with a good wind the rod loaded as I expected it to and the line performed GREAT! I am very pleased with this purchase.
