Just respooled my SS3s with the 20lb version- soaked for a good few hours in warm water and it went on like a dream, can’t fault it

I’m not sure to be honest.
It acts in every way the same as fluro, stretch, sinks etc but casts a lot better than anything else I’ve tried.
A mate of mine has had it on his spools for 2yrs and he fishes a lot so it’s pretty durable too.

If it’s the soft version you’re talking about then I agree completely!
I’ve found it much better behaved than Tiger, XLine and the Fox stuff.

without shadow of doubt daiwa floorit is by far the best ive used. 1000m for £40!! casts loads better than other flouros and isnt half as springy. i'll never use any other brand

Gardner Mirage or X-Line. - Mirage has the edge, but don't know if that can justify the extra cost.
I found that both need to be made to behave by using the Ken Townley method.
Once i had spooled up, i would them walk out about 100yds in a field. Tie to a post, go back to the rod, take up the slack, wrap it around my arm, and then take 2 large steps backwards. Stay like this for a couple of minutes. Take the line off of the post, and wind it back in through a cloth which should take out any twists. (No matter how i word this, it's never going to sound as eloquent as Mr T's explanation)
If you're doing this on your own it can mean a lot of walking.
Following this method, i found the line didn't keep jumping off the spools. I would repeat this a couple of time per season -
I now use GT-HD - got the hump with messing around with Fluoro
