Hello all,

Im looking for a coated braid that is around as stiff/supple as ESP's Tungsten soft? I fancy the Atomic offering having read good reviews on here..how stiff is it?

I've been using it for years and don't think it's very stiff although can't compare it to what you're asking.

But I do love the stuff

I would say it's a tiny bit softer than the tungsten,the coating feels thinner than the esp.Its still very robust,it's my favourite coated braid

15 on clear venues.
25 on weedy / snaggy venues.

So much better than the ESP stuff.
