Anyone got any advice on a low stretch decent casting mono that I can use straight through? Leaders and tapered line are banned so I know I'm going to have to up the diameter so will need something decent at casting and preferably low stretch
Has anyone used proligic density? Seems to tick all the boxes

Personally I'd just use tapered mainline, it's not like they are going to know.

Are they trying to thin out the number of members through cracked skulls on the far bank?!
Why would you ban tapered lines?

Rules are sometimes made to avoid anybody gaining a perceived advantage. Keep the rules really restrictive and obstructive and everybody is in the same boat. For some of the more suspicious/defensive individuals it can be a safety blanket.
There have been a number of waters described on the forum that have rules that will prevent any form of safe distance casting.
Why?

It'll be a ban on low diameter mainline I expect. I've seen this on a couple of real weedy places.

I suppose that could be a sensible rule on a few fisheries. I'm still to see a sensible reason for banning tapered mainline. (tapered leaders are a different question)
. Would be interested to hear the justifications put forward for said ban.

I'm pretty sure that Pro clear has unfortunately been discontinued. 😔

No idea mate. Not used them. I just know the Clear is great for casting with no leaders.

Pro gold is a very good all round line and green/gold colour but clear is slightly limper and casts a little better. Not used the others.

Pro gold: okay, a bit too wirey for me
Pro tough: good solid strong line for demanding situations. It's like rope
Pro clear: in 16lb you can deffo get 150+yds with it. Limp and a bit stretchy
Pro distance: good line

There quite a few suitable lines that are readily available and a lot cheaper. For example Daiwa sensor clear is 0.01mm larger and is 2lb stronger in tests. syncro loaded xt similar etc gardner hydro tuff also close to pro clear.

There aren't many manufacturers of nylon monofilament. Price depends to be based on whether its the start, middle or end of the production run (middle is best), or whether its got added carp tax.......
