Has anyone got their hands on this/used it during testing?

If so what are you overall first impressions? Any particular stand out features?

Cheers,
James.

Does look interesting - if its as good as they're plugging (all round line) its prob worth a punt . . .however until we get reviews I'll be sticking with Hybron!

They must be overhyping it. Ask yourself this, when was your mainline last really a problem? And when it was, would a mono (any mono) have been the answer?

I have used Sub line, Kontour, and Touchdown. All were good, I'd happily use any of them again, none fundamentally changed my results.

I was in a tackle shop at the weekend and this Kaizen line was flying off the shelves. Love/hate them, the power of Korda's name really is head/shoulders above anyone else.

Yeah the advertising gives the impression that it's revolutionary- less stretch then fluoro, super supple/limp, good abrasion resistance, etc.

Sounds a bit too good to be true hence peeking my interest!

They talked about it on the recent Korda uncut podcast. Damian in particular had high praise for it and I don't see him as someone who would push something he doesn't believe in. No doubt worth a look next time you need to change your line.

Didn't say it sunk well or did they (may not have been listening)?

You know he owns the company right? Of course he's going to push it.

yes of course, but he doesn't strike me as someone who would push or use something unless it was decent. Clearly he's not going to say it's crap but you don't hear or see him pushing product do you? Not like Danny etc. Just my opinion.

Every manufactures say the same about all their lines a bit like every 3.75lb rod will cast to the horizon yet still lovely to play fish on.

Now doing 600M bulk spools for £49.99 so vaguely better value! TBF its an excellent product IMO . . .if you like fishing slack lines with minimal faff its the business!

" impressive breaking strain to diameter ratio ", per the advertising spiel.
What, you mean exactly the same as almost every other mono on the market ?
Talk about spin.....
Are you sure?
