"High Performance" is a full synthetic, extreme duty lube normally used in high performance applications, like a V6 set up for surfacing. (150 - 300 hp)

It won't hurt yer little fishing motors, but the word overkill comes to mind.

Normally the high-perf is a lot more.

One thing you need to know is that they don't recommend mixing the two, so drain out the old stuff very thoroughly.

hope it helps
