The 50-60lb hollowcore stuff has an edge because it'll splice better, but it's damn expensive.

Based on what data? If it splices better for you, or you prefer it then that's fine but I don't think there is any test data out there to support that statement. Jb has 40#, and 50# hollow niether is spliceable as the core is too small. I don't think anybody makes a 50# or under that is spliceable. The 60# and up is spliceable, and I have never had a problem splicing with it. I must admit I have never tried the Blackwater though, and probably won't due to the price difference. In my opinion it cannot be that much better to justify the price differential.

60# isn't the best to splice with, 80# is better IMHO.

The Blackwater is nice stuff but too pricey for me.

I'll stick with LB Line One.

JB Line One. Side by side with Blackwater (and I've got some of each on my workbench right now) there is virtually no percievable difference, and certainly not at that price.

Their fluoro though is a whole 'nother kettle of fish!
