No idea mate. Not used them. I just know the Clear is great for casting with no leaders.

Pro gold is a very good all round line and green/gold colour but clear is slightly limper and casts a little better. Not used the others.

Pro gold: okay, a bit too wirey for me
Pro tough: good solid strong line for demanding situations. It's like rope
Pro clear: in 16lb you can deffo get 150+yds with it. Limp and a bit stretchy
Pro distance: good line

There quite a few suitable lines that are readily available and a lot cheaper. For example Daiwa sensor clear is 0.01mm larger and is 2lb stronger in tests. syncro loaded xt similar etc gardner hydro tuff also close to pro clear.

There aren't many manufacturers of nylon monofilament. Price depends to be based on whether its the start, middle or end of the production run (middle is best), or whether its got added carp tax.......

Used to only be three factory's in the world, Bayer in Germany, Berkley in the USA, and one in Japan, this was twenty years ago, as service engineer I went to Bayer and Berkley.
Are you sure?
