Thanks, I'll have a look at it.
What is the difference between the two (loaded?)
I don't understand why they stopped it? It was a brilliant line and yes the best I've ever used.
Cheers Mike

yes I think Shimano Catana. was the best line I have ever used tried so many lines after they stopped making it and in the end I have settled on
THE BRILLIANT ALL ROUND LINE ESP Syncro XT in 15lb
not !!!! the loaded version though

The closest I've found to Technium as far as all round performance is concerned is this....

I much preferred Touchdown to Sub Line. If you don’t need to cast long range then the 20lb in brown is a good line.

Old thread I know however what's the alternative to the Shimano catana.
I'm using subline but it's not a patch on the shimano catana.
What is the best substitute and I can't understand why it was discontinued.
Cheers Mike

Probably Covid-19 related.
Social distancing, less workers allowed to work in the factorys, so products \ manufacturing limited.
It will happen everywhere in the next few months. 
Something we'll have to get used to.
The 'New Normal' (Smiley with someone being sick) .

After reading this thread a couple of weeks ago I bought the 12lb in brown from ebay £14.99 but that's gone.
Cheapest I found is £16.39 from HERE

I use technium black in 12lb. Have to say why would any company stop production of a well selling product without a reason related to production. Unless 15lb is superfluous to requirements as 12lb is so robust and therefore 15lb just doesn't sell.

Has anyone thought to message Shimano on faceache and ask them? Maybe its just a supply issue from the Far East at the moment

I think there's a good chance it'll reappear with slightly different packaging
