They are still selling it Steve. You can buy direct from their website, currently got it with a little discount off too.

The spotted fin coated braid is really good , better than n trap
I bought up a few reels before they stop selling it
It dosnt get any mention anywhere
The esp stuff is also very good

I got so peed off with this happening I just stopped using coated braids years ago. Now use combi rigs/ fluoro/ braid. Too frustrating tying a rig then it's ruined when you tighten the last knot.

The atomic one I found the coating comes off/splits too easily.

Interesting, I think Atomic jelly wire is the best out there, esp is okay but for me not as good as jelly wire.

Which coated hook link is it?
I've been using ESP Tungsten Loaded and had no problems whatsoever with 4 turn grinner.
Maybe go real slow when tightening down the knot with plenty of saliva.

Had that years ago but don’t use those brands anymore. From memory I used to dab the knott with cooking oil to lubricate and bed it down slowly without stripping
