I use 6 & 8 on spinning gear, though very clear water I use green..
I'll say its very tough stuff, great for sustained casting with knicks.
I've used it on a baitcaster-not fully convinced with the heavier weight line.
I've only tried the Cajin Red not any other red brands.
Gotta watch that, many are just variations on color and not changes to line quality or characteristics.
Seems live everyone has some type of red line now..
Just watch the quality of what you test.
