What problems did you have? I am looking at this line as my club have put a minimum line diameter of 0.4mm in the rules.

It shredded like cotton, got cut off using it 5 times and had to strip a load off a few more times after fish, once swapped back to Gr60 had no more issues even though could still feel the grating on the mussels. A real shame as it was lovely line otherwise

Correct I've used it for snag fishing in France in 20lb , I've even had mussels clamp to the line and it's been ok

What breaking strain do you use in the GR60.

For general angling 12 or 15, but for anything where there's snags etc then 18lb, it's bombproof stuff

Just had a look and nobody has it in stock, looks like they've stopped doing it. Ffs I'm glad I got some when I did but when that needs changing I will be on the look out. The korda carp line in 20lb is a decent alternative, although I've spooled my cat reels with some asso hard skin which looks very promising although I haven't used it yet

There's been some good recommendations already, but don't forget good old daiwa sensor. I've used it in 20lb fishing weedy waters and it handled it perfectly. Cheap and cheerful but more than up to the job.
