It may just be me (I must be the world's worst angler after all!) but I wonder if anyone else out there has used it and has had any similar problems? I certainly won't be using it again and will probably revert to the tried and trusted Drennan Floatfish for next season. Dave

I'd thoroughly recomend it as a hooklink on the float, feeder or pole although it is slightly thicker than the stated diameter. I would steer clear as a mainline. Mark

I think as with all these newer lines you have to go by diameter instead of breaking strain and be careful when tying knots I use the palomar all of the time except when tying spade hooks. Normally use 0.13mm or 0.15mm for my chub, tench and perch fishing and 0.17mm to 0.21mm for barbel and carp fishing with the next diameter down as hooklenghts. I also use it as hooklength material for ledgering if not on braid or florocarbon. Stickfisher

Lesson learnt, I will stick to the tried and trusted in future and revert to Floatfish. Still not sure, though, why, if this stuff is meant as a hooklink material, it is sold in 100m spools? Dave

I think the tangling problem is probably due to loading it the 'wrong' way. I've just had a look at a spool and in fact due to its square shape it's virtually impossible to load it the 'right' way except on to a centerpin so I would say hooklinks only. Stickfisher how do you load it?
