The Tatsu has a softer outer core, not the other way around as suggested in the video.

Actual pull test data using Palomar, Uni, SD jam knot would be meaningful, in lieu of trust me it's good finesse line.

Correct. I misspoke in video, but the key is having both soft and hard resins fused together for strength, abrasion resistance as well as manageablity and knot strength.

Hard-resin core for more tensile strength
Soft-resin shell for improved knot strength

Thanks for the comment. Have no way to test it, but my experience is based on fishing it heavily. Have found that I like it more as a mainline since it is so soft and have had zero issues with Palomar tied to hook.

We tend to develope brand bias based on using line, if it works it's good. When you make a vedio supportive test data should be a factor, like abrasion resistance and knot strength using accepted methods should always support field use opinion.
