I was looking on the essential fly last night and seen this on there and was wondering if it is as good as it advises on the site. Dont mean to jump on your thread tickle but was wondering if this was better than ultragreen and sightfree g3 that I currently use at the moment.

I was using g3 a while ago and wasn't happy with the patchy knot strength (in the sub 4lb lines,5lb and above seem ok). A friend reccomended stroft to me so i switched to GTM which i am a lot happier with than flurocarbon but i am running low so i was going to give the ABR a go.
