It's decent. The 25 lb is 0.48.

used it for years and its never failed me, I like using it as you can set it straight or put a curve in it and it staying how you want it.
I normally use 20lb and never have any issues with it

Good good & good . . .

The 10lb for barbel rigs
The 15lb & 20lb for a variety of carp rigs (D rig or Slip D with fluro boom)
The 25lb for Fluro leaders

No need to change - it covers all bases!

I don't use the flouro carbon on its own often, but it's great when I do.
I use hydrolink almost exclusively, which has cam h2o as the core

20lb for me when I use a fluro boom

Few years ago now since I first saw it, new out, the owner of rigmarole was doing a demo in a local tackle shop. He showed me this new product, screwed it up into a ball in the palms of his hands, proper mess, straightened it out and gave it a pull, straight as an arrow

Sold ever since

It's pretty stiff, I use it as chod sections, or use hydrolink extreme(20lb flouro core) as a lazy mans hinge stiff rig

Haha. I wish. I had a spool of the 15lb that I had for ages and when I tied some
Rigs it snapped when I pulled it. I just thought that was because it was old so I ordered some new 15 and 25lb and it does the same.

Yes when I had a play with it I could snap it quite easily to. Couldn't use it after that.

Must be a dodgy batch. Put it this way it wouldn't take a lot from a carp to snap it as easy as I did

caught a 44lb cat on a combi using camh20 as the stiff section. when i unhooked it the hooklink was absolutely battered from the pads of the cat, but it didn't snap

would be very shocked if you can snap it in your hands. sounds like something is not quite right

What knots are you using . . .? What rigs are you trying to create?

With 20lb (and for heavier/larger diameter bs materials in general) even a simple 2-3 turn untucked blood knot should be strong enough for most of the carp that swim in UK waters . . .
