At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!
been using this for the last few months now as standard casting line of 15lb. all i can say as is 'liquid silk'. line lay is exceptional. for this reason alone i was more than happy enough with it. have pulled for breaks with this stuff expecting to loose the lot and have gotten free numerous times. whilst i am not recommending it for rough ground i have pulled 4/0 varivas big mouths out of rocks with it, flattening the hook piont. impressive. strongly recommended. around 14 euro for over 1000 metres i think.
i found one very worrying problem with the stuff, it seems to break down quickly, very quickly!! i have had to change the line twice within two months due to the line breaking far too easily at the knot. when i first started using it, it was perfect, knot strength was spot on, but within a couple of weeks i found the line was snapping in my hands, particularly at the knot with the shock leader. i can't figure out what the problem is, i agree it's like silk, it sits beautifully on the multiplier, but i find it very worrying that it seem to break down so quickly. it has me stumped!
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
good of you to say Frodo. i have to say i haven't had this problem with it? i remember pulling for a break on a spool with 'old' line on it and the 15lb. amnesia snoods broke! all two of 'em! i found the other lines i've used decompose quicker. at the end of the day it's important to use what works for you as it keeps the confidence high. i admire your honesty though.
Damien i got it from Henry's Tackle. got to get some more soon- hope he still has some!
Apparently, its just beside the metal footbridge, Damien.
Dont know if I can get out this weekend, but if I do, I'm going to pop down and have a look. Either way, let me know what you think of it.

It's only a small shop, but their prices seem reasonable enough. Don't buy their frozen mackerel though - it falls to bits! It's next to the coffee shop and bike shop.
