Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has used this line and how do you rate it ? I know Fox and Korda have their version of a tapered mainline, and was wondering how it fairs against these two as well?
I am planning to use the 15-35lb version 👍
Cheers

Despite having never used it, I have to agree with post 2. When you have the likes of fox, daiwa and Korda with decades of experience in developing fishing lines, why would you buy from a company that only 5 years ago were only flogging Chinese sandwich toasters.

I'll tell you why.

Because Carping and all the marketing that goes with it has made it a magnet for societies ****wits, the sort that have a vacant look posing in their RM baseball cap, the kids that were in the bottom set for English and math's, drive a 10 year old BMW, ***** tattoos, shagging a fat bird that smell's of cheap perfume and chip fat, call's everyone fella, likes every bait company post on FB on the off chance it wins them a prize, the sort that thinks he's casting 200 yards when in reality it's 64 yards, posts 14lb Simmo's all over social media from day ticket pit's with Stella can's as a backdrop as if he was Terry Hearn on Wraysbury only the Chav Primark carp taxed clothing tell's you it's 2020 as he thread's the "whats the best bait " onto his ready made Korda clone rig with his Nash AK47 needle whilst toking a biffta , shouting to his equally sub human mate with his stolen Delk's at full pitch as a burger burns in a toaster on a ***** Chinese stove in a ***** Chinese bivvy with a ***** Chinese bed watching porn on a ***** Chines tablet, this **** is living the dream.


Walker would turn in his grave.

Yes mate, not really a rant is it, more a still life of what the industry forced on nature and those that enjoyed the peaceful simplicity.

Your not shagging a bird that smells of chip fat and stale biscuits are you

PS: thanks for giving my post the time of day

Lets be honest there's a lot on here that will read that post and stop after they realize they have ticked the first 4 box's

Then again there's a lot who cant read it at all.

I have been using since October and it seems ok to me.im fishing a lake with a leader ban so thought I'd give it a try..I'm using the 15lb-40lb and had no issues.Casts really well and had a few fish up to mid thirties in a weedy gravel pit.Not too stretching either.I prefer it to the tapered fox line.

Hi. We have to use tapered mainline on our lake
All the tapered lines inc ridge monkey have been tried and now Almost everyone is using the fox Exocet
