I used it in 16lb had carp to 54lb with no problems decent line same with Gardner Mirage and Tiger line

and IMHO ALL

a lot better than X-Line that that has always snapped below its stated strain ok so it sinks the fastest but at what expense ?

not paying any attention to those tests. they use what knot they decide, not the one specified by the manufacturers. flawed tests IMO

You don't put 600m on each reel,you put backing on and 200m on each reel.I still wouldn't pay that though either

You can buy 600m tiger line for As low as £75.99 if you shop around and dont forget unless you actually damage it on a snag or something it wont need changing for a few years as its totally affected by sunlight water etc unlike normal mono
