Thank you, is it still called by the same name?

Yes sir. If the color bothers you by the way (that camo that turns from green to brown and back) you can also wait until beginning of next year, as a Dutch company is having this made in an all grey color by RidgeMonkey. Don't know if it's viable to ship in into the UK with all the taxes, but still.

I think it may have changed name slightly but it's still the same stuff.
And yes, still use it. It is a very good product indeed.

I agree with all of you that rm coated braid is the stiffest out there (by a mile), but how do you handle a simple figure 8 knot, then the coating always tears. Yeah, you could strip it and then make your loop, anti tangle sleeve over the knot and it's stiff all the way, but maybe there's another, neater way without having to strip?

I can't say if it's the stiffest, but the esp is the best I've come across, and it knots well without the coating breaking up.

Agree, not sure if it is the stiffest, but it is the best I've used, the coating doesn't split or break on knot tieing. I have all three coatings in clay

PB SKINLESS is about as stiff as you'll get

I always keep the coating on with the figure of 8, then when tied, cover the knot area with a small piece of shrink tubing. Shrink it down then you have a neat loop with no 'break'.

Yes, the stiff version
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
