The bad news is you bought one of the least manageable fluorocarbons. Trilene 100% has to be one of the stiffest on the market. I've had to use this line in a pinch a couple times and hated every second of it. It seems to be a reliable line, but is just plain stiff. But don't feel bad for giving it a try, it is the most marketed fluoro and it is good to at least try every brand.

The good news is, you can buy Seaguar AbrazX or InvizX. Both are very supple and soft and cast much better than Trilene 100%. I think you'll see a huge difference in handling switching to these lines.

Kevin, I've been using the Trilene 100% flourocarbon and have been wanting to try something else because it is so stiff as you said. It's strong and sensitive, but very stiff. Could you tell me what is the difference between the AbrazX and InvizX? I'd be using it for pitchin soft plastics on my Revo STX around cover.

Keith, the abrasx is more abrasion resistant. I've hears it is a little stiffer than invisx, but not much. Its kind of like sufix elite vs siege.
