I have used it on several rods. The larger diameter 12lb-14lb was great to cast, seemed pretty limp and tough to break. The smaller diameter 4-6lb was very memory prone and twisted all to hell. Also if you use black lights at night it won't glow.
Saltwaterwalt is right on the color spectrum. Red will lose it "red" and seem more brown or dull. You will notice this in the ocean on coral reefs where everything is muted but once it surfaces it pops with vibrant color. Of course light penetration will effect it as well.
We had a good chat on this a while back:
