I love it.
It can shoot further than I can throw it, and it's pretty flexible.
It's about a hundred dollars but it's worth it if you can afford it...it floats very high also. Don't know if it comes in a sinking line version but I'm going to convert my 3 and 5 wt rods to it...oh, I already got my 3 wt line
I lay out line on the water, and every time I pick up and cast once with it, more line comes out...further than I can false cast, which means that my skill is the limiting factor.
Oh, and it comes with a nice, tiny loop in it already made at the factory...I almost didn't see it
It does make alot of noise, but that can be exciting, especially when a fish is on
