Posts: 92 (24/07/07 11:14) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Has any one used this line, i just got a new reel and i had a free spool a couple of months ago, it claims to be highly abrasion resistant and super strong, but the overall diamater is thinner than most monos. i was wondering if any one had some real world experiance with this line and there views on it, and if not what would you use instead? Dave

Posts: 2274 (24/07/07 12:50) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	After a recommendation on BFW, I got some and have to say, I love the stuff, for hooklengths and mainline! Not sure how the diameter compares, havent looked, but its very tough and hard to see as an added bonus. Cant rate it highly enough Regards, Darren Coarse fishing articles - Fish Ezine

I must admit that when I've caught fish in the floods I've had to strip back a yard or two of line because it has suffered some abrasion. This might sound a little alarming but the flood fish I've caught fought incredibly hard and really held on to the bottom, causing the abrasion. So I think it's well worth it, in fact I've bought bulk spools on ebay. (Handcrafted Feeders for sale, made to your specifications.

Posts: 973 (24/07/07 19:16) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	i too have been using this line on most of my reels in verious B/S 2x 12lb for my heavy barbel fishing reels and 8lb & 10lb on my light reel (took advantage of the vouchers in TFC mag ) to stock up a bit .never let me down yet , even when snagged in the side rocks at collingham wasnt easily broke (had to do the old walking backwards thing , with the rod tip low) ,not the only thing to creep up the bank that day (water level rose up quite a bit , to within a couple of feet of my tent thingy) steve I try to be funny... but sometimes I merely look it http://www.angelfire.com/sd2/chavender/

Posts: 128 (24/07/07 21:03) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	After some recommendations on here I've been using it when mono hooklengths are needed. No problems at all. If it was more buoyant I'd use it for floater hooklengths for carp, the ultimate test of the invisibility/strength balance.I like it very much. Simon.

Posts: 92 (25/07/07 01:17) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	i was considering it for float carp fishing too until i read that it was fast sinking but i think i will spool the spare spool up with this stuff and use it when i need the heavier line, dont think im going to use it all the time theres no need. 10lb should be plenty any one had any problems with knots and knot strength?

Posts: 128 (25/07/07 08:45) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Steve, Thanks for that. I shall be investigating, it looks to be just what's needed especially with the anti twist profile. I have been using Reflo Powerline and if it's better than that I'll be well pleased. Simon.
