I tried this line on several different 5-weight rods and it cast well with all of them. In particular the more moderate action rods throw very nice loops with this line. It does have a slight "screaming" noise when passing through the guides, which is more like the textured lines, and therefore It does not seem as smooth as other Mastery series lines I compared it to (expert distance, infinity, MPX). However, this did not affect casting distance or performance. I also noticed the diameter was a little larger than some of my older 5-weight lines of this brand. As far as weight, It did not feel any different than my other Scientific Anglers 5-weight lines. It would be nice to get this line in a more stealthy color, like camo or the dark willow color they used to have in some of the other lines. Otherwise, an excellent performer overall.
