Excellent Line and value,July 7, 2008
By Klintrockfrom Naperville
"I have been extremely pleased and surprised with how well this line performs. I have had virtually no break offs and its strength in pulling fish from the weeds is outstanding,,,,also doesnt seem to nick from either fish or harder/woodier weeds. I am also very pleased with using it on spinning reels because it has such low memory and seems very supple as to not create problems with tangles. I prefer it to Yozuri hybrid, trilene, stren mono, and others."

No Other Line Needed,February 13, 2008
By hardfishermanfrom Newport News, Virginia
"After using many different lines on the market I decided to give this line a shot. I'm glad I did. I have always been a big die-hard fan of Berkley Trilene XL but this line is just as good, if not better. It has good knot strength, abrasion, and low memory. I just hope Bass Pro Shops doesn't stop making it."

Great Stuff !!,August 4, 2007
By Axemandan
"After many years of using a national name brand line and becoming upset with their quality control, I decided to give BPS Excel a try. WOW !! Excellent knot strength, abrasion resistant, small diameter and predictable stretch !!! In my opinion, the best monofilament I've ever used !!!!"

Impressed!,June 28, 2007
By Jim
"I have been a Stren fan since the early eighties. I recently was in store and purchased a JM Sig Series Reel. The counter man talked me into spooling it up with this BPS Line. I took it to Lake Fork and torture tested it. Casts great, strong knot strength and hauled the fish in without failure. If your a mono fan, dump your name brand and try this line. You will be impressed!"

Excel Monofilament line,November 13, 2006
By swk77from WA.
"Have been using Excel line for several years now and it always holds up to the rigors fishing the Western whitewater rivers that I fish. The 4# and 6# works great for Smallmouth Bass, the 8 thru 12# handles all the situations for Steelhead fishing that I have come across. I have tried other high end lines but always come back. Excel has it all low memory, great knot strength and holds up superb to the rocks and trees."

Excel 4# test,July 9, 2006
By Trout Spin Fishermanfrom Connecticut,Idaho
"I have been using BPS excel line for a long time now though i am trying out all sorts of braids, co-polymers and flourocarbons to see what they are like compared to mono.As far as Monofilament goes,this EXCEL stands is Excellent! I cast from 1/128th oz to 1/4 oz lures and baits on 4# test..I get my line wrapped around boulders and stumps (and those pesky low lying trees) as i like to fish white water alot as well as sit down by a river pool with the kids and toss in some live bait. It handles the abrasives and is limp enough to use with ultralight gear.I have tried many brands and this is as good if not better then the #1 line on the XL market for the fishing that i do."
