What yes the nickle titanium mono strand leader material....I played with that stuff...if you make a loop and pull it breaks like a wet noodle. I was at a show and this guy was talking this stuff up and so I was playing with it seemed cool, stretchy, and i was eager to get some. Then I looped it, pinched the point where the two cross and pulled. Snap with hardly any effort. The rep looked at me shocked....so I did it again and SNAP...with maybe 2lbs of pull...he didn't know what to say...tried stuttering and back peddling, was kinda sorry for him. I honestly don't believe he thought it was possible, and of course he said that situation would not occur during normal use. But every seasoned fisherman knows, if it could even remotely happen, it will. So after everyone moved away he called his boss immediately to explain how "Some guy" just walked up and snapped it with absolutely no effort...pretty sure he started to second guess what he was selling. Sure on a straight pull igs neat stuff, and I know guys who use it on a regular basis with no problem, but knowing that all it takes is a loop and a pull and snap.....I'm not willing to chance that.....especially at that price.
