What's everyone's preference? Just grabbed some 12lb & 15lb fox green coloured line confidence is key for me I can't see me not using the 15lb tbh fishing for big fish but I don't want it to be too thick

Seems pretty pointless if they have 12lb

12 vs 15 - A lot of lakes have a minimum breaking strain that's probably why fox are offering two versions ?

12.3 is 0.26
12lb is 0.28

Not sure if there was an issue with the 12.3

I've caught on zigs using 25lb Amnesia and conversely Kryston Multistrand.. I'm sure we over think it far too often.. 12/15lb will both work.

15lb 0.30 diameter I think will be the choice for me first time using zigs I've give up blanking on the bottom watching my pal catch on zigs lol

Think of it this way, their mouth is lower than their eyes... hence they will only see the line etc a third of the time eg. if approaching from below the hookbait. The rest of the time they are either at the level of the bait or above the bait..
Hence the reason they tip to feed on the bottom, they can't physically looked down without tilting their bodies... A bit like dogs can't look up!! 😂😂😂
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
