Ya i use it on all my scratching rigs for shy bass and especially flats,the lad who introduced it to me swears by it and he is a quality match angler.One thing though the one i use is 14lb in strength and would always change the snoods after 1 session,bit of a bummer as the only spool i can get is 50m,way stronger than any other fluoros ive used ie stren,tubertini gorilla to name a few,give it a go .

cheers MM
i use it all the time for trout fishing. i got 100m spools from the states. i think they were known as guide spools. they were the same price as the 25m spools over here. dear stuff to change every time.

never heard of this stuff and did a google search. they sell the 100m spools in cork angling centre for €28. it doesnt say what BS it is tho and dunno if this is a good price or not.
