The only thing that sways me more towards the feather or foil string types is that as previous people have stated, these can and most likely will deform.They also after multiple uses can become brittle and crack. Other than that though they are great. if you tie a Kastmaster to the end of it and jerk it fast horizontally through the water, as soon as you get the first hookup and the fish is flailing on the line more are coming. Great if you need to catch some live bait in a hurry to fill the livewell.

Use with with my ahi sabiki rod. Works well for catching baits. Inexpensive and helps make live baiting easier.
