I personally don't see a difference between the two other than the daiwa I get from China cost $11 and seaguar is $20+.

I'm not familiar at all with that part of the Cumberland River. I'm sure there around the dam and on down a little bit should be some good smallie fishing. Maybe someone will chime in that is more familiar with that area

There is a difference in fluorocarbon leader. What you and I don't get to see is the "refractive" index that the leader is rated at. The lower the refractive index the more expensive the leader....it costs more to make. Seaguar Grand Max is 20 bucks a roll for a reason. When I trout fish Seaguar Grand Max is all I use. This was proven to me on the Little Red River. I was using leader X and the guy I was with was using Seaguar Grand Max. I switched and started catching a fish every cast just like him. I often use fluro leader at Center Hill and Dale Hollow fishing for crappie and Smallies.
