I agree on life of the line. I would think three years of heavy used line. It is very thin and no the Depth Charge is not that thin, but it cast fine. There is no belly in the line. I use the Depth Charge more than anything. Specially stripping streamers. Stillwater I will cast 50 to 60 feet and peel more line off while kicking then start stripping in. With all the weight in the 30' it seems to add a new movement to the fly. I use the Deep VII mostly for Chironomiding or Jigging more or less. If I am in 20 feet of water, I cast 20' of line. With depth charge I can cast out much more and get the same results.
