Sooooo expensive, is it worth it?

Not sure if i should try a tapered line instead?

It's very good but as far as I can work out it's actually 'Daiwa J Braid X8' (20lb 0.016) which is a lot cheaper, get the 'Chartreuse' colour if you want the same colour as the Korda stuff. Best thing about it is it doesn't need wetting all the time

I found that it would randomly crack off even at small distances 10 wraps or less .... this with new braid threw it after 2 sessions and 5 lost spombs! You would cast on the clip ok for 5/6 times then bang snap!

Spoke to 2 people on my lake both had the same issue with it may be that's why they released the SLR braid...

The problem is it's too fine at 0.16 when you hit the clip hard with a heavy spomb, could easily go up to the 29lb of the Daiwa at 0.20 or even the 37.5lb version at 0.22
