I think there was a thread about it on the Lure Fishing section a while back, and the general concensus was to avoid the stuff - difficult to knot reliably, poor abrasion resistance and bad memory.....far better lines around for the money.

I got some given of a mate to try it feels like braid with a plastic covering has a little more stretch than braid but not as much as mono. Really smooth casting line though. But abrasive resistance is the same as braid very poor if I can find the spool John you can have it to try. I think it's more for float fishing or spinning than propper sea fishing lol

dos,nt sound very good then and very pricey.

thanks for replies.

I've used it. First impressions it does what they say nice and thin casts a long way and no wind knots like you would get with braid but what they don't tell you is how poor it's abrasion resistance is. I lost a very good fish on the pier when the line broke. I think the line must have rubbed on a bit of wall sticking out or something as it was not a clean snap but a raggy rubbed through type break. I was gutted of course could have been a PB so I swore never to use it again. You could use it with a leader I suppose, that might make it better. Personally I don't trust it.
