Used a lot over the years - ESP loaded, kryston mantis etc but always go back to the Atomic Jel-e-wyre. Brown 25lb version is great over most lake beds and is bullet proof.

Atomic jel E wire is my go to coated braid as well, and I've used a few over the years, never had any problems with it

Tried most best i have found is Gardner Ultra skin soft. Ordered the wrong one and ended up with the tungsten skin version. Not tried it yet but tied up a few rigs and it looks better then the original Ultra skin.

You won't go wrong with thinking anglers, they invented the tungsten coated braids, and there tungskin is still the heaviest by some margin! there camstiff is also excellent and not massively stiff either, its just stiffer than the really soft camsoft lol.

I used to uk the esp one but I've no regrets switching. I used pretty much solely thinking anglers bits now apart from lead clips and I pay for it all happily knowing I'm getting quality to be honest.

Used thinking anglers camsoft really good stuff nothing bad to say about it. But currently using katran kobra it is really interesting really soft and subtle knots really well when i steam it it is actually softer then camsoft. And i really like that but i will have more info at the end of the year.

Korda Ntrap, used it for years, never ever had it snap, used abroad and here, never let me down, never felt the need to change.....yet.

If you like a semi stiff hooklink, I'd recommend the bank tackle one which is a very good price too.

For soft links, fox and korda hooklink are both great.

For a real stiff hooklink I prefer the Gardner Ultra Stiff

What rigs do you use the ultra skin stiff for? Or is it more of a boom material? Wondering if its OK to use my regular rigs with it on a heli setup in fairly silty stringy weed venue. Thinking a stiff multi on a heli would work well
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
