After reading up a bit on the flour-coated copolymer line, it appears to give great strength, low memory, improve casting distance, and increase abrasion resistance. I could only find one review that mentioned the near invisibility of the line. I imagine, just as you cant use the strengths of corrugated cardboard, and glue, to make an arch bridge that will support the weight of an automobile, (The mechanical engineering class at the university I attended successfully pulled that one off), combining the fluorocarbon, and copolymer, if done correctly, could create a product that utilizes the strengths of both materials to make a product that is better than either the fluorocarbon, or copolymer on their own. I am not a chemist, and have to extrapolate some, based on info I research. I am an electrical engineer. We did have to take courses on statics-strengths of materials, and so understand the theories behind using different materials to make things stronger than the individual elements. you would be ammazed at what you can create with toothpicks, and Elmer's Wood Glue (LOL)

Hey RJ thanks for the follow up I'm going to start using the High Seas Grand Slam for my leaders to see if it makes any difference I scored a bunch of 300yd spools in different diam in the Wal-Mart clearance for 50 cents a spool to good a deal to pass up bought 6 from 4lb test to 12 going to load up one of my trout stream rigs with the 4lb and use the others for leaders
