Company called GCT showing it in stock
Could be worth a call before ordering on line

Merlin was my favourite braid as well, when I was struggling to get hold of the original one someone suggested trying the offering from Sharp Tackle and I have found it to be bob on.

I've got two nearly full spools of the original Kryston Merlin 20 or 25lb version from memory, the new versions are a different colour the green, brown and dark they do now is a totally different and woven with a black braid in them, the original I have is the green braid with a fleck of white running through it.

TBF I haven't used it for years its just sat in the spares box at home.

I've got loads of kryston spools knocking about, perhaps some merlin, definitely got a few snake skins and snakebites though. Never used the snake skin, looks really good though in the water, anybody still use it? Effectively a combi rig really isn't it without the joins in material.
Are you sure?
