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!

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.
