I have thrown it quite a bit here out west. Both clear water lakes as well as the California Delta. I am impressed. You can certainly use it on bait casting gear as well as spinning gear. The advantage with spinning gear is that you can arguably cast it further. The only drawback I have found throwing it on the Delta is that you lose quite a few fish as they bury themselves in the vegetation quite easily on the light line. However, you do get bite that you otherwise would to have had.I have onlyscratched the surface with this technique but I will tell you that I am impressed so far.
