I have used it before in 80lb on a boat multiplier and had no concerns, don't know how it casts though I'm afraid

I've used it on my Spod rod for the last 5 years no problems except a bit of colour fade (was yellow now nearly white) at some point I'll reverse what's on the spool

Could it be used safely as a main line?

Spectra is the US term for what Europe calls Dyneema. Beware of Chinese tat, that's all I'm saying.

Bought a spool from China for £8..
It's brilliant stuff, on both my spod and marker and would buy again.
And yes I would happily use as a mainline

I nearly ordered 1000 m last week but they were based in China Even though some of them say England
and as China is effectively closed atm I was hoping for an actual Based in England seller lol.

Really good braid for spod and marker rods.
Very reliable, been using it for over five years without any issues.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
