It was just a random link that I could post on my phone mate, not sure why I couldn't post others?
From the look of it, it's a tippet material, I'm imagining for fly fishing in flats for things like Bonefish, it's a low as £10 if you shop around, different manufacturers do the same, with Rio you tend to pay for the name though it's very good stuff.

@tatuusfr, links, copy the web link and put it in your post for us to link for you.

If you want to try it yourself, put your link in the reply, highlight it left to right then click the 2 arrows on left hand side of page next to 'web Link' directly above smileys

EDIT, Team Daiwa Salt water mono returns nothing here in the U.K easily, there's Tounament, SLR, Sensor, ST and probably others I've missed.

This one is incredibly strong on knots. With a 300m spool it's enough for many years !

Almost every rig I've used in the last 18 years has been tied with mono.
I've used Amnesia, Catana, Technium, Bulletproof, and a few others and haven't noticed any difference in catch rates. Basically, if I'm happy to use it on my reels I'm happy to use it for my hooklength.
Amnesia spools do sit nicely in my tackle box and are refilled with mainline once empty.

For strength it would have to be Trilene XT.

For suppleness I'd say Maxima Chameleon..breaking strain is up to you.

What do you want from a mono hooklength?
Many years ago i dabbled with trilene XL, and XT, but ended up using 12lb big game green.

With the advent of Ronnie rigs and supple braid combi rigs, lads using stiffer hooklength material like amnesia, IQ or even snag leader material there are so many options.
Im not sure I'd ever need to tie a hook directly onto mono again.
I suppose a mono D rig is the most straightforward one, anti tangle and some subtle movement at the bait end.

I have used 25 and 30lb amnesia, and added a doubled over supple braid combi so I can get the anti tangle properties for a big chuck, subtle presentation, and convenience of easy changing hooks when needed.

The big bonus of an amnesia type hooklength with a Ronnie or combi multi is you dont need lots of rigs tied as the component parts are reusable and you just need to change the hook.
It can be pulled straight and reused if kinked, unlike mono.
