It's like comparing a chuck eye steak to a filet mignon. The chuck eye satisfies, but the filet mignon makes you hum while you chew it.

Could you be more particular in describing of differences?
Or it is just imagination that cheapper means worst. My friend who pretend to be a sommelier couldn't find difference between
cognac VSOP and cheapest brand while "blind test". If you get two same kind of reels with Defier Monofilament and Super Natural Monofilament, how you feel the difference?

Well for starters if I cast blind with Super Natural I'll likely wind up with a huge blow up or some sort of hot mess. If I cast blind with Defier I might take out someone's eye, but at least the line will handle like a Champ. Have you read the TT review of both these lines? No other line handles like Defier and stays in that same form from my experience. Is it over priced, maybe. . . But that ultimately is up to the user.

Also, if you type Defier into the search engine under the line page, you will find 100s of comments.

Thanks. In another words, you want to tell that Defier has less memory and it is limp more that SNM.
As I understand you have experience with both of them.
I didn't used Defier yet, but with SNM I am fishing over 3 years without any problems you mention.
Therefore I am curios about how reasonable to spend more.

There's simply no other line I've ever used or heard about that is as smooth feeling (between fingers), smooth casting, little to zero memory as Defier. It's only downfall is sensitivity and that's because it's mono. There are more abrasion resistance mono like Defier Armilo but there's a sacrifice of suppleness and some memory. SNM isn't bad line by any means but I wouldn't use it after using the two Defiers. Cognac tasting is like rod sensitivity...different to everyone. Defier is not.

The tackle trap has the best price on Defier too.
