Gliss - 18 pound test

Bought my first spool not knowing what to expect. Found out immediately that my regular Palomar knot would slip so went to a double Palomar (2 wraps) and cured the problem. You can literally throw a lure out of sight! I use it to throw a light weightless frog for moss/weed fishing and it cannot be beat. A few quirks here and there but a great line I will buy and use again and again.

This is the same review i left under 12 lb gliss, as it pertains to both the 12 and 18 lb line i bought:

I've reviewed everything on this site I have bought to honesty and I will do the same here. I bought 2 spools of 12 lb gliss, and had issues with the line snapping above the knot when tied to 10 lb fluoro. The line also is so thin and slick that knots do not hold well and the fluoro will slide out when pressure is applied. I thought this was possibly a bad batch of line, or just an issue with 12 lb, so I bought 2 spools of 18 lb gliss and had the same issue: the line would snap above the knot. When tied to 10 lb fluoro. Im no mathematician, but 18 lbs is supposed to be stronger than 10, yet the gliss keeps breaking. Clearly these lines cannot live up to their advertised strength while being so much thinner than other braids I've used. I love ardent products, as i have 2 apex elites, an ardent bolt, an ardent finesse, and 2 ardent arrow spinning reels, but i will never buy gliss again, and hopefully someone from the company can fix this product because as of now I'm not going to risk losing fish on line that continuously snaps.
