TOL, i've got a handful of 3inch single strand wire traces on a bunch of my small chromies. It's nice to have that little bit of insurance, it will still get bitten off if it takes it right down or if a solid barrie grabs it but is great on the spotties.
Or just sticking with what works. Guess you're one of those guys where tackle shop owners rub their hands together when you walk in. Just because something new comes out doesn't mean that it's more effective at catching fish (but maybe catching fisherman!)
