I tried it as I liked the ultima power carp which I heard this was.I took it off after 3 or 4 trips,it did not cast very well it had alot of memory so coiled up badly and I think there are alot better monos on the market

I'm using it and finding it a very happy medium between flouro and nylon. Does what it says on the tin.

Used it for 2 sessions and got rid. Even took it back to angling direct as I thought I had a dodgy batch. Nope it was just cack, told them to throw the remaining 700m in the bin.

Onestripe, you need to think about what you want to achieve here. 100% flouro is a different beast to a coated flouro. The coated will not sink as quickly but will cast a lot better and vice versa the flouro.
Individual lines will also attract these bizarre responses varying between garbage to brilliant, in most cases it's about what you want and how you use them. As for this "bad batch" excuse - well!

What berkley fluorocarbon is it please is it Trilene

Stop messing about with s-hit lines. Buy the best, and that being Seaguar fluorocarbon. The Jap company behind it invented the stuff in 1971. Made from raw materials in their own factory and not some re-branded plop.
Order it from eBay. InvizX is what most carp anglers use.

Berkeley CF600 fluro is the best I have used. I think thats what carpbandit is referring to as well.

I've been using it for some time. It casts well, its strong, sinks well, priced well and it's close to using a mono.
I have not found anything bad about it, it's all good
Cf600 breaks at 11lb, the same diameter rm flouro breaks at just under 18lb. I'd not use 11lb bs line at my syndicate with 50lb carp swimming around it....
Make your own choice though.

a bit more clarification on your "garbage" comment to help the OP might help?

As others have said perhaps you could say why you are considering a fluro coated line over a proper fluorocarbon? I have 2 set of spools bit for everything up to 100 yards I use 12lb kontour. Expensive, but brilliant!

If the 11lb you state is based on the tackle box line tests I really wouldn't pay any attention to it. They state that fluorocarbon is tested with the same knots as mono so it's never going to give an accurate representation of its actual breaking strain when tied with an appropriate knot.

Garbage ( coily bollox that was used for one night then went into the bin?)

No reason I picked coated fluorocarbon over 100% fluorocarbon.
I just wanted to know about the Ridgemonkey line
The reason I'm thinking of using fluorocarbon is because I want to fish the naked chod rig
And I've read it's best fished using fluorocarbon line

must admit, when i first spooled up 4 rods on it, it cast quite poorly. so i took the rods down my field and gave it a good stretch and it cast like a dream thereafter.
