Has anyone used, seen or touched the new Stren Super Braid?

I used some this weekend, the knot came undone twice. Gave up on it, maybe it needs a drop of superglue?

I love my power pro. All the superlines have problems with knots. Use a double uni and a short florocarbon leader. Try some of the 2lb dia. 10# test. You can throw it a mile.
Sure if you stone the drag it will cut into the line on the spool under it unless you really compact the line when you put it on the spool.
If I have a fish hooked around the oyster bars with 8# dia power pro I don't even worry about him cutting me off. Not the same confidence if he is on mono.

Mighty heavy line for cats.

I've got the Super Braid on two Okumas. I have used them for bottom fishing and trolling. Have caught lots of fish and had no problems whatsoever. Works great for trolling stretches. - They get deep.

I tried the new Stren Super Braid last weekend. No luck with the fish; but the line seemed to work fine. I was ripping a spinnerbait through some pretty nasty stuff and I still have my spinnerbait.
