12lb that's light, hopefully you have no snag nor weed to contend with. Grateful for distance tho

Unless conditions dictate isn't 12lb what most people use

12lb technium black could still pull a tree out of the water.

Used both the 15 and 12 in the past and never once had it snap.

I thought the same until I pulled half a pallet out of a park lake with it 😂 never had it go once and all the waters I fish are full of snags.

Always used to but an increasing number of venues have a minimum 15lb rule.

That suggests to me that even over time with the improvement of fishing lines a decrease in angling skills has outweighed that and so fisheries feel the need to stipulate a minimum of 15lb

That and the appalling role models and lack of responsibility on and in all media. Money, money, money, greed, greed, greed, sell sell sell.
Less and less real respect for the fish and their environment. How do beginners learn.

Bitter and twisted, Wessex.

Most lakes near me say at least 15lb is to be used, my syndicates will ban you if you use 12lb line. Although I do agree with you I think 12lb is absolutely fine just some people don't no how to use it

Also it could be on some venues people using bait boats and baiting spoons putting bait nearer to snags?

@g4fne
Good point!

As I said if you're fishing a clear lake it's not an issue, I only tried it in 12 once and it broke on me due to the savage bars that inhabit the lake. Stripped it off and went for 15lb version. Never went again after that. It's rarely about the strength and weight of the fish, its what it's rubbing on on the bottom where abrasion resistance comes into play. I couldn't break the 12lb on a straight pull between my hands, but rub it over a piece of sharp gravel it's curtains.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
