get the 20 pound breaking strain i use it all the time it is only 0.36 diameter and 27 quid a killo in nets really good and underestimated line

[Ian Alexander]

I like Daiwa Sensor and Berkley BigGame (trilene).

I have some Aiwa Shima Catfish line but have not had the chance to try it out yet.

Avoid f1 it's expensive it's like rubber far to stretchy very poor breaking strain it does cast ok but again to expensive for what it is if you want a smooth casting line sakuma night crystal is a much better line all round to f1 storm tournament in rutherfords is almost identical in fact am sure its the same and half the price

Phil's comments are what I meant by marmite. I used the Night Crystal on the field for casting and it was brilliant, got some in a higher diameter for fishing and thought it was appalling line, poor abrasion resistance and very weak (this was fishing over shingle on the south coast) - after just a couple of trips it would start snapping if I got a decent lump of weed on. But it is a line he likes and that works for him - who is to say I'm right and he's wrong?

You'll find differing opinions on most lines, best advice is to look out for the consensus that a line is crap and stear clear of those ones (Red Ice is a good example).

i found the night crystal was allso poor for fishing, the okuma platinum 20 pound in killo spools is much better imho

[g.ordon]

If you want to use f1 yel better stock up on it as it's not manufactured anymore, so I'm told

[desertdog]

thanks for the reply's what's ppl thoughts on the okuma distance

[markgg]

I've just started using Sakuma brite crystal 25lb line is only 0.43 in diameter, tried F1 too stretchy, diawa sensor good too. But I think i'll be using this Brite crystal from now, pulls out of snags canny, but you have to double check your knots because its a bit wirery.

cheers mate a few ppl on here have mentioned sakuma crystal

used f1 in titanium and its a half decent line but a tad too expensive for my liking!
used daiwa sensor in the dark green/brown for nearly fifteen year and never had any bother with it!! i also use another "marmite" line thats never done any wrong for me is okuma ultramax in green or white very cheap online but very good at the same time cant fault it mate!

One of the lads I go fishing with uses the ultima f1 line ancd it is very poor line to say the least. i have a reel spooled up with 30lb red ice line and never had a problem with it in 5 years. i have a reel spooled with shakespeare sal****er beta yellow line 30lb for fishing ther tyne i find it very good but not very visible at night. I use ultima distance orange 25lb line on another reel it is visible but the line quality could be better. on my new alpha-x reel i use 20lb fladen warbird line which is about .43mm diameter and it seems to be the best of the lines i use atm I have never had any probs with it and its flouro yellow so quite visible at night.

I think that red ice is Ok mate its pretty strong line u used to use it aswell

[The Plum]

best line for me by far was penn surf orange gear,[they stopped making it gutted i was]strongest and stayed strong all season and next unlike many others ive tried,dont know why they stopped making it

[jack555]

Just try a few out and see what you like, cause people will say this line is the bee's knees and someone else will say its useless ect, its all down to personal preference...

Andy Copeland told me today that they now will be supplying Diawa Ultima Line,love the F1 titanium,maybe a bit stretchy but its nice to use and still a strong line unlike some **** recently bought from somewhere in s/shields made in Korea where I'm assured all line is now made.get this Lovelry cast 50 yrds line parts,managed to get it back a while later by fluke and examined it and took photos ,conclusion rubbish line.If you d'ont have confidence in you're line you might aswell give up as you're never gonna land a fish of any size.(quoted from Mr Andy Copeland ). I agree.
