They're still about.

Danson's only have the one.(loads of others elsewhere) https://dansononline.co.uk/product/shimano-aero-technium-14000-xtc/

Might be worth speaking to Danson's and get some on order - they do the best prices I've seen on Techs.

I think it has been discontinued. Shimano have a habit of doing this. Catana first, now technium black.

for the life of me I don't know why shimano have discontinued this line,not as if they make any other decent lines to use instead.

I think it has been discounted bud I've been using it for years but this year I couldn't find it absolutely anywhere so moved to synchro xt

I messaged total fishing tackle about it over Xmas and they said it was on back order and was expecting delivery in 5-6 weeks, so hopefully it is actually going to be on sale again soon,

It is still on Shimano's website so I'm not sure if it is discontinued or not

It's only a guess but the UK packaging was different to rest of the world. Maybe it was case of aligning manufacture so that they only needed one for everywhere?

Should get a year out of them if you keep them in the dark.

In all seriousness I'd do similar if I knew something I liked was going to be hard to get in the future.

How long would you keep line for? A few years? Several?

If stored out of sunlight and extremes of temperature I'd keep it many many years and still use it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
