I used to think the same thing, but you need to tune them (bend the ring
on
top) if they're not tracking straight. Also, when you have two of them
out,
put the shallower Stretch 18 or 25 out to about 150-200 feet, and the
deeper
running Stretch 30 out to 75-100 feet.

I have one that I couldn't get to run true no matter what I did.

Then I figured it out.

Steel leaders. For some reason, the things don't like to run on steel
leaders. Why that should make a difference I don't know.

I know a lot of guys who use stainless leaders with Mann's, so something
sound "fishy" with that explanation.

If they are, then it's very light stainless. I could never get mine
to run right with heavier stainless.

I use 60-85lb fluoro.

I used to - then I discovered Ande florescent blue - that makes some
great leaders. I'm so sold on the stuff, I use it for all my leaders
in all weights.

Is it as tough and wear-resistant as fluoro?

I think so.

Later,
