This line is excellent--and I have seen and heard others complain about bird nesting and losing lures--99% of those issues are user error! You have to be careful spooling your line--keep a steady amount of pressure on the line and keep the pressure point at at least the 1st eye of your rod away while spooling. As for losing lures, almost everyone I know who used braided line loses a few--because we don't tie braided line knots and this stuff will un-knot itself in 1 or 2 casts--and that again is our fault, not the line.
It may take a little more care to prep te line on your reels, but it is well worth it if you fish in and around a lot of structure. I fish for big bass with ultra-light tackle and generally the reel or the rod gives out before this line on those fish.
Read the directions carefully, spool you r line with consistency and learn some new knots and you will have no trouble with any of the issues people are listing on here.

bought this crap for bass fishing. using an Abu baitcast setup etc....using a double uni knot to secure lures etc... im an experienced fisherman and it seems mono it better than this junk.. its not woven tight at all and when it comes into contact with ANYTHING even mildly sharp it will cut and knick leading to loosing lures... i after losing 4 lures this weekend im pretty pissed and will be re stringing my poles with POWER PRO.... DONT WASTE YOU TIME OR MONEY ON THIS TRASH...

Stay away from Spiderwire EZ braid. I bought a spool of this because it was a couple of bucks cheaper than the Spiderwire Stealth. I had nothing but problems with it the one fishing trip it stayed on 1 of my rods. It did not cast as smooth as the Stealth. It tended to dig into itself on the reel after being reeled in under load (fish on lure). It would then bird nest(and was harder to get it out). The only braid I have tried that was worse than this was Firewire Crystal. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Spiderwire Stealth I have 18 rods with it on them. The couple of dollars you save on The EZ braid is not worth the issues it has.
