I know the striped ones will be arriving shortly so I hope to see some reports on em but am not expecting to either  .

What kind of line set-up are you running? I run 30lb. braid to a barrel swivel to 20lb flouro for the leader and have yet to get sawed off by a Pike yet. The abrasion resistance of both the braid and flouro has been great considering the amount of snags, rocks, bikes, cables, etc. that are under the water in the river. Give it a shot if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.
