Then one day I was complaining to a buddy about how much I hated throwing a frog anymore. It was more a conversation about how I've become more impatient over the years. Anyhow, long story short, the subject of line came up, and he mentioned hating 832: "It sinks!" Suddenly it clicked. No wonder throwing a frog had become such a chore--if the boat moved at all I ended up with a big belly in the line! And no wonder those finesse techniques had been feeling so much more "heavy" over the past couple years!
So I'm good with 832 for casting and winding, but really can't stand it for most other stuff...including techniques where hi-vis would be useful. Clearly some people love it, and it may even be for that exact reason. Just something to be aware of before you purchase it, cause braid ain't cheap!
