I’ve been using a spool of the 3lb for top-and-bottom float fishing for about 6 weeks. It floats well, is tough and hasn’t let me down at all. I found it to break at over 3.5lbs knotted and is as far as I can tell with the gauge I use the same diameter as 2lb Maxima which I can get to break at 2.75lbs. On the face of it so far a decent line although it has a bit too much memory to be perfect. I’ve had chub to over 6lbs and big grayling whilst using it. I hope this helps.
