I can't find what I thought would be there so can any one give me any information about this mono as an hook link? And may be suggest any others. Thank's for any help. Scaz www.fishingfans.co.uk

Pefectly okay, I suppose, in a water without snags, for fish that don't like returning to them...

I was on the canal last Sunday fishing straight through on 6lb Ultima and not getting a bite, put a 12" 5lb DDSM hook link on and the small perch and gudgeon suddenly appeared, coincidence or is there something to be learnt from this? I think it may be a little thin for heavier fish (cheese wire effect) and will stick to coated braid links and hairs for chub, barbs, bream, tench & carp but for roach and perch I recon its a must.

I repeat: avoid DS for anything larger than roach.

There will obviously be abrasion issues too. Put it this way, if you had a one inch diameter mono and a half inch diameter mono both of the same breaking strain, then put a quarter inch deep cut into each one, which would be likely to break first. I wouldn't use DS for barbel.

If i were to recommend some, ultima power plus and berkley xt are very reliable mono/copolymer hooklength materials. Wurzel

Stay well clear. Preston Innovations Power Line is good and dependable and a lot of people swear by the old Silstar / Billy Clarke stuff. If it is for barbel I wouldn't consider these types of line. They are generally pre-stretched and as a result, when you have a big angry fish on a short string, a sudden last thump can be all that is needed for everything to part company. Better to have a line that still has an element of shock absorbency left in it. However, they are good lines for pole fishing with
