I bought some from the same seller to test it last year.
100lbs red. Honestly... Not impressed! Thicker then power Pro, Poor knot strength, and it broke well below it's rating. I can't figure out what to do with it. I think it might be alright for backing but I would not fish with it as a main line. Just don't expect it to live up to it's rating.
You get what you pay for with line. I think people who have never used quality spectra might think it's great but it's not up to US quality levels.
Not all Dyneema is junk though I hear the stuff coming out of Australia is quite good and similar in diameter and strength to our local spectra.
