Hi Guys,
Looks like this in 15lb has been stopped, tried bloody everywhere.
Could I get away with 12lb for UK fishing?
Seems much easier to get hold of
Cheers

You'd be surprised how much punishment the 12lb can take..... plus it beds down and casts better.

I've used 12lb this season with no probs, have had a bit of line twist though, maybe playing the fish off the clutch too much.

12lb generally ok
But if you want 15lb try Gardner Pro Blend its a great line and cheap, it was recommended to me by Terry Edmunds, i had a lesson with him and cast 154 yards with the 15lb straight through, and it comes in two colours dark or light.
Its very supple but pretty tough.
I prefferd it to Technium and at about £12 a bulk spool well worth a try

I really hope not, the 15lb line is my standard line everywhere and only have 2 spools left...
There are still a few spools available on ebay

That's what I thought or maybe they're redesigning the packaging as I believe the UK design is slightly different from other countries?

i have never found the need to go above 12lb in Technium black in nearly 20 years of using it .... but then i do use lighter leads
