I bought lots of both and the Atomic is better by a long way

Has the atomic stuff stopped being made, or can any one point me to place that has it in stock.

Cheers

I just get my jelly wire from eBay.

Only a quid postage, always in stock.

Atomic was and is the best, coating is no where near as good on the PB version

Yeh its not same-- PB is stiffer, has a more plastic brown/shiney coating. Seems a bit more robust outer skin which I prefer.

Definitely not the same, the Atomic version is a soft coated hook link whilst PB has semi stiff coating.

do you not order direct from Atomic? Always seem to have stock.

I have heard it's pretty much the same but never seen them side by side to compare. I rate the Atomic stuff very highly, used it for years now, although have played with the ESP semi stiff recently but honestly not as impressed.

Jel-e wyre has been my favourite hooklink material(tungsten loaded close second), since the start of time, with it being a little harder to get, I actually picked up a roll of the pb products jelly wire in the shop and it seems to be the exact same stuff.

Does anyone know if they are the same?
