also look at Sunline Small Game
When looking at sunline's website the SaltiMate SMALL GAME PE-HG has the saltwater tag, but not the freshwater tag as other pe lines in their lineup.

Is this significant?

Thanks

I use the Small Game in fresh water and find it an outstanding line.

I really like the diameter of Varivas Area super trout.

I use almost 2 lbs exclusively and been using Sunline Sniper for years. No reason to change as I've not have many failures if at all. Of course, I do put on new line quite regularly.

Last year, tried Gliss 8 lbs a few times as it is the thinnest line I know. That's not JDM but I used it for casting distance. Worked well too though I did use Sunline 2 lbs as a leader. The Gliss is so thin, I'm not sure if I need a leader. Will test that out this year.
