ultima power steel ?

[roger de dodger]

well has anyone used it yet ,its florocoated mono they claim it casts well with good abraision resistance and minimum stretch?only catch is its twice the price of F1 and thats dear enough

[roger de dodger]

62 veiws and no reply looks like i,ll have to try it and do a report on it myself

[kstaff]

Just buy it ya cheapskate and tell us what it's like!

I've heard it's well strong and sits nice on the reel.

[roger de dodger]

ordered a spool straight after my second post will report back next week,no pink available so at least eric wont be using it

i have used it in the lighter breaking strains Roger and it does tie an extremely good strong knot. i reckon you could slice a welly like cheese with it

[roger de dodger]

nice cast ok on multi good knots and very good bite indication ,roll on the smoothies and bass (feels slightly thicker than f1 in 15 lb but not much!)

lidl are doing an electronic caliper soon get yourself one then you will know if it's thicker stop all the guess work

[dbrock]

f1 in 15lb is sposed to be .32mm
power steel in 15lb sposed to be .33mm

so slightly bigger roger, but seems to be an excellent line, ill be using it for a while and will report back on it later

[BigPhil]

i know a few guys using it up here for the last while, well impressed with it, one said he wont use any other mainline for the beaches now...

[wayne riley]

well did ye get it and whats ur opinion doger

[roger de dodger]

hi wayne,its good alright all though it wont be replacing my braid on my lighter outfits i,ll be using it for distance work and bass fishing ,much improved bite detection and as tough as nails ,it is however pricey ,i,m gonna spool up a big pit with it ,it,s fine on my 6500 so i dont see why it wont be ok on a fspool ,i,d say it could be used for snoods aswell havnt tried it yet but will next time i,m doing a batch of rigs

[fishermannum1]

reading this thread has got me interested, so i'v sent off for a spool of it in 15lb, by all accounts the reports on it all seem good, so same as yourself rog' i'm going to put in on my 6500's and give it a try.

[fishermannum1]

hi rog' how are you getting on with the power steel ?, i've been using it steady since i got it, and find it great!!! lays well on the reel and is beautiful to cast with. have also used it on one of my f/s reels and its the same story it is prisey stuff but its worth every penny....

[roger de dodger]

find i great it,s a shame the big fish havnt shown up yet to give it a reel test i,m gonna use it for some snoods on my pully rigs to see how it performs

[beachcaster]

its the stuff i was showing you at fahan the other day, i would highly recommend it, its a bit pricey for line but it a 4oz spool with over a 1000 meters on it.

[beachcaster]

yes don i remember but couldnot remember what you said it cost!!!

[RockHunter]

I recently purchased a couple of spools (15 and 18 lbs). I used the 15 lb line for the first time last night - amazing bite detection. Even bites from tiny coalfish and codling were strong - kept thinking I had something bigger on the end

I will be putting it on all my reels. It's a bit more expensive than a good mono but definitely worth it.
