Been using in 40lb - nothing negative to say at all.

Cheers, Im not sure whether to get the 25lb or the 40lb at the moment

In reply to Post #17
40lb if you aren't planning to cast long distance

In reply to Post #17
I love mine but wonder if the 25lb would cast a lot further, the diameter isn't very different but if I could cast maybe 27 wraps I would change over..

How far you casting with the 40lb with which rods?

In reply to Post #20
23 wraps... I think my rods are Harrison torrix, very old

I've used it in the past but much prefer the Avid stuff

Iv been using the .35 ridgemonkey braid . It's very strong and sinks really well iv found . Again not great for casting but good for short medium range in weedy conditions

What do you prefer about it chuffy?

Does the Avid / Ridgemonkey stuff fade? The SBX doesn't seem to.

In reply to Post #25
Avid stuff doesn't fade fast. Think I've had mine on around 3yrs now and it's faded but only slightly.

Well its less like tow rope for starters, has a good colour to it and it casts very well, I've had it up to 100 yards so far, seem to casts just as well when I don't bother wetting it, usually wet it for first cast of the trip but after that don't bother.

Gardner noir is awesome i love it cannot see a better braid imo it sinks, casts behaves on the spool. Ive had fish instantly since i been using it.
