Running out of Tigerline so looking for a new fluoro hooklink material, used 99% of the time for the basic complicated rig.
Don't need the big spool size Tigerline comes in so something normal around 20m would be good, max 0.40 20lb.
Recommend away especially if you use the above rig.

Not seen that before but a quick Google brings up some pretty obscure tackle shops as stockists.
Having Hard in the description would mean stiff in fishing terms, is it not too stiff as a hooklink on this type of rig? They do a soft version too I see.

I use ‘soft-plus' in 19lb for combi rigs (and various salt water fly fishing applications). I think it is fantastic stuff. I've never broken it on a fish. It has caught me several 30 lb plus permit and 40+ carp.
It is standard issue for certain U.K. fly fishing applications and recognised as about the best Fluoro out there. ‘Selectafly' sell it (amongst others). But it is expensive.
It is very thin for it's breaking strain - so much less abrasion resistant than the equivalent breaking strain Ace Hard. So the latter is better if you want a fairly stiff link.
There is also a new ‘stretchy' Fluoro on the market. I found some in a tackle shop on an Irish salmon river recently ! Very interesting stuff.......
