best line

[stevie-r-@hotmail.co.uk]

Stopped using F1 as found the knot strength was crxp, dont know if it was just a dodgy spool but thats my oppinion and wont use it again.

I can under stand people using 25lb on clean ground but why would you want to risk it on rough ground I use braid 100 lb Berkley Whiplash which is o.28mm and power pro 100 lb bit is a little a bit thicker I would never go back to mono I have lost less fish since I stared using it

Is this on a multiplier or fixed spool??

Anyone looked at the Lines On Test By Dave Barham check out the breaking strains and some will be suprised. Lines OnTest By Dave Barham
My opinion aiwa Tournament Mono,f1 ,penn senator.... canny abrasion for 25lb up to 30lb.

[codman56]

I use the whiplash on a fixed spool and the power pro on a Abu 7500 I also use 70lb power pro on a penn 525 super mag I have no problem at all with the 7500 the 525is ok but I have the odd mishap but no more than I did with mono the one thing I did find strange was stopping striking into fish a gentle lift is all you need to do

nice one, I always thought that braid dug into itself on a multiplier. Think i,ll give it a try
Best mono for me is diawa sensor and F1.

I suppose people use what has stood them in good stead for years, me personally i use 30lb ultima distance cos ive never had a problem with it, however i always thought that the thicker lines are better over rough stuff as they give better abrasion resistance against the rocks. Distance is 0.50mm at 30lb.
That said however one mans rough stuff is another mans clean/snaggy ground, i.e Shields pier...rough or snaggy? for me its snaggy for others it may be hells bowels!

might be worth a go on the drum end mate. lol

nee good for distance though shaun

dark Sakuma is best.

To date the best line I've ever used is Sakuma Dark Crystal. It's has all the qualities of an excellent line, good knot strenght, good strenght to diameter ratio, excellent abraision resistance and doesnt stretch like **** when when snagged, etc.

I rate it that highly, to me its the best line bar none, and I've used quite a few good lines in the past few years, but none as good as this.

Do you use this in thicker diameters fishing it straight through or with shockleader? i found it to slip alot at the knots.
