I have used it before in 80lb on a boat multiplier and had no concerns, don't know how it casts though I'm afraid

I've used it on my Spod rod for the last 5 years no problems except a bit of colour fade (was yellow now nearly white) at some point I'll reverse what's on the spool

Could it be used safely as a main line?

Spectra is the US term for what Europe calls Dyneema. Beware of Chinese tat, that's all I'm saying.

Bought a spool from China for £8..
It's brilliant stuff, on both my spod and marker and would buy again.
And yes I would happily use as a mainline

I nearly ordered 1000 m last week but they were based in China Even though some of them say England
and as China is effectively closed atm I was hoping for an actual Based in England seller lol.

Really good braid for spod and marker rods.
Very reliable, been using it for over five years without any issues.
