  • Decent floating line?

    Hi, I need to replace my floating line (size 8 WF). Can't remember what make my original line was, but after being fine at first, it now 'coils' quite badly. Having said that I have used it for the last four seasons or so.
    I don't want to pay a fortune - up to £30 or thereabouts. Anyone reccomend a brand for this price ?

    Many thanks

                hi baz,
                my pal carl swears by his greys grxi and for 20 quid you can't go far wrong. I personally use and have done for the past 6 or 7 years a snowbee xs floater. they cast really well and are like silk in the hand, no worries with regard to coiling/memory and thats after a long cold winter in the shed and still on ther reel! I know some people have issues with the snowbee lines longevity but if you clean it 2 or 3 times throughout the season with the line slik that comes with the line you've no probs (i'm still only on my second one) . yes they're 35 37ish quid but pure quality i did try one of those airflo ridge floaters a couple of years ago and i can say with all honesty it was bloody terrible was like fishing with a washing line and even after a good stretch would not sit straight in the water, avoid at all cost

                just to shoot off on a tangent m8 i have a boat trip booked out of craster on sunday 24th apr(bank holiday weekend). sure its only 20 quid a head.....................if you've nowt better to do m8.................... drop me a pm
                stop what ya deein and.........
