Ben m 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hate the stuff in the light classes but 15lb should go sweet mate. You got a bargain too, thats pretty bloody cheap for a K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I also hated the light stuff,never tried it in 15lb though. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the tommy king 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 awesome, hope its good coz ive got a fair bit of the stuff! should be good for flicken lures for salmon and salmon trout Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarsOne 137 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 its the shit... I swear by it. Not everyone does, but I think its about what you have your best experiences with.If you're looking too offload a chunk of it I'd pay my way for 200 yards of it :PI have it in the 6lb, have bought it the last 2 times I've had to respool. Any knots come out easy, best I've had (not that that's all that many). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the tommy king 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 tackleworld o hallaron hill has 6lb 1km for $130. good deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the tommy king 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 yeah. they also have 50percent off tackle and 25percent off reels. i got the braid and some salmon lures. $3.50 fot halco lures is pretty good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have the bright blue 20lb on my Certate and really love it. Second time ive spooled up with it.its very supple, ie no memory and you get great casting distance. :)Its made in Japan and most Japanese stuff is the "She-ite!"

the tommy king 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i had the choice between bright blue and yellow. went for the blue! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The other new line that stands out from the crowd is that code red stuff.I think its Berkley. Not sure I need bright red line though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben m 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Th blue stuff is shithouse for finesse bream fishin when you need to be watchin your line at all times for tiny hits. I used it once and could barley see my bloody line in the water disgusting stuff, but as you said youl be targetting salmon etc so ul be fine. I woulda gone the yellow though for its visibilty.

the tommy king 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 yeah the yellow would be better for using hard bodies and soft plastics. i mainly use bait for bream as i cant master the lure art YET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarsOne 137 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Just went up there....I had these same thoughts about the blue stuff. They only had that in the 1km spools....Ended up picking up 300m of 6lb and 300m of 15lb, both in yellow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
