Both drennan &whychwood fly leader are reliable, but expensive. personally I use x-line for both mainline(12/15lb) and hooklenghts(10/12lb), if you shop around £19.99 for 600mts. Got some p-line on order, will give it a go and let you know how it stands up! peter

It lost me a couple of good fish last season ! Going to try X-Line this year, we'll see ! As a hooklink, more than happy to use ESP Ghost or Drennan Flyleader, which I believe are the same line ?! Also got some Korda IQ to try this year.... Cheers Paul M............

Handling/performance is very much like standard Fireline and the so 'crystal' is more like an opaque white colour which does take on a semi transparent appearance in water. Objectively the Fireline breaks well above it's stated strain and have found the palomar the best knot to use. Will be testing it more thoroughly in the forthcoming season along with may favourite of some years - Power Pro. Will also be taking a look at Bass Pro XPS Fluorocarbon in real fishing situations as at first glance looks pretty good. Cheers Bob

Have used for both mainline and hooklink with no issues. Tried IQ Soft last season (as its 100% flouro not fluoro coated mono) in ten and twelve pounds as hooklink and had not trouble with that either. Vanish I hand tested before fishing with and I would never attach it to the end of my rod!! Mark

Sue uses krystonite 12lb , never let her down . I have x-line in 15lb on my barbel reel , and all 3 carp rods .Not let me down , and i like to try things for myself . Hatter
