Anyone got any advice on a low stretch decent casting mono that I can use straight through? Leaders and tapered line are banned so I know I'm going to have to up the diameter so will need something decent at casting and preferably low stretch

Has anyone used proligic density? Seems to tick all the boxes

Personally I'd just use tapered mainline, it's not like they are going to know.

Are they trying to thin out the number of members through cracked skulls on the far bank?!

Why would you ban tapered lines?

Rules are sometimes made to avoid anybody gaining a perceived advantage. Keep the rules really restrictive and obstructive and everybody is in the same boat. For some of the more suspicious/defensive individuals it can be a safety blanket.
There have been a number of waters described on the forum that have rules that will prevent any form of safe distance casting.
Why?

It'll be a ban on low diameter mainline I expect. I've seen this on a couple of real weedy places.

I suppose that could be a sensible rule on a few fisheries. I'm still to see a sensible reason for banning tapered mainline. (tapered leaders are a different question)
. Would be interested to hear the justifications put forward for said ban.

I'm pretty sure that Pro clear has unfortunately been discontinued. 😔
