Anyone know if you can still get this in 0.38 15lbs?
In reply to Post #1
I struggled to find some around a month ago, but then found some at Glasgow Angling Centre. They only had a couple left at that time and I just checked and now the 0.38 isn't listed. You probably already know this, but make sure you search by diameter rather than BS. Berkley note the BS differently and the spool will say 11.1kg (which is 24.5lb).
This place says has some in stock. Bit pricey but.....

I used the CM70 and found it superb in every respect, but I don't seem to be able to get hold of it now

Discontinued now according to Berkley

Got a new spool of it here and no, not selling it.
Why the hell have they discontinued their best line ever, puzzles me?

It's still on Berkeley UK site from what I can see. Does look like it might be discontinued though as nowhere has the 0.38😞

Agreed,why? Used it last year after Progold disapeared and found it very very good.
I use it in 8lb b.s for Tenching so must get another spool before it too goes

Think the CM range was suppose to be Berkeley breaking into the European carp market. Maybe they just found that it wasn't worth the machine time for the size of the market and the amount sold compared to the huge market for their lines around the rest of the world. Carp fishing is a drop in the ocean (pun intended) compared to salt water and game fishing.

Didn't Vince (VLT) ask Pure Fishing and they said it was just getting rebranded?
I just stripped it off all of my reels - judging by the second hand prices of other discontinued items I should have flogged it.

Yeah they told me that, I will reply to them and ask when it will be reappearing and under what name.
I have been in their HQ a few times over the years (not far from Alnwick) and they seem such a chaotic company though, JRC and Chub are virtually extinct now.
