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!

found this earlier and it makes for some interesting reading. all lines tested were said to be 15lbs lines.

Good find... that's very interesting alright, have used Daiwa Sensor a lot and never had a problem just check for abrasion every few casts when fishing lures over snaggy ground... lately switched to braid with a fluoro rubbing leader but still use a spool of 15lbs mono for certain marks.
Everyone should believe in something; I believe I’ll go fishing.
