How well does this knot? Tried the ESP stiff link/ bristle and not confident in the knots sitting bedded down.

Compared to jelly wire, green hornet and skin less are very stiff...

Very kind, thanks. I'll see how the RM stuff is, and if it's not up to scratch, will take you up on the offer.

Fox camotex stiff is good

Absolutely very stiff and steams beautifully straight, love the stuff

Korda n trap in 30lb or esp tungsten x stiff, I use both for stiff hinge rig booms, much prefer it over fluorocarbon

As an update, I've received the RM Tec from Ridge monkey. Ties up pretty well and certainly gives the stiffness I'm after, so thanks all for your suggestions, you helpful bunch of fellows!

What's the inner core like?

In reply to Post #39
Pretty soft. The outer coating isn't the easiest to knot, but it seems tough as hell and the final knot seems very strong. Once steamed it's very stiff indeed. Thinner than my old spool of stiff silt (both 25lb BS). Overall it gets the thumbs up, but the fish will obviously be the ultimate judge.

Gardner ultra skin stiff is decent

i'm also looking for some Stiff Coated Hooklink, save starting a new thread, thought i'd post here, and see what you guys think nearly 2 years on...

is there anything better out there?

@NemesisWitch - are you happy with the Ridge monkey Stiff Coated Hooklink?

or have you found a better 'Stiff Coated Hooklink'?

cheers!

Hi Rich,

Yes overall I am. Not the easiest to work with, but once all tied up, I'm pleased with how it works, and use it now as my go to coated braid.

In reply to Post #43
I thought it was replaced by a new coated braid?

Sorry to re-visit this thread again but is the RM stuff still available or have any other suggestions come up in the meantime? Cheers.

Yes still available and love it! Haven't found anything better(stiffer).
