Not if you use Rigmarole CamH20 - you could scrunch it in a ball and it will still pull straight under minimal tension and with no need for steaming etc

I can vouch for this stuff, amazing. Quite a bit of stretch in itso bare that in mind and stretch it out a bit before setting your length. Wish they did it in 35lb

I would
Believ so mate, they say it's fluorocarbon and don't strike me the kind of company to use a coated line and pass it off as soemthing else. All their gear is good gear.

I had some Carbon Fibre tube left over from sleeving a rifle barrel, fitted perfectly inside 2” foam pipe lagging to create a stiff rig tube for beach casting rigs.

The rigs are pinned in place and run ‘helter skelter' style from top to bottom so I get a 1meter rig on a 500mm tube. I will be doing the same thing for my leaders once I know which to go for...

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
