I've looked everywhere for 18lb or 20lb. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be lovely . I need to redo all four spools for France. Failing that i was looking at the Kaizen line. I only use this setup once a year for France, so i didn't want to spend big bucks on line that gets used for one week a year.

Glad you're sorted

Hope it's not discontinued, just a slow boat from China, like a lot of stuff at the mo...very odd!

It's not as readily available as it was that's for sure, great line for the price.

Strange that the Daiwa Sensor I bought under 0,30mm stretched and coiled like an old rubber band. One light pull and it stretched forever and had many coils and kinks.
Have never seen that on any line I have ever had (50 years of fishing). Did not hold any knots at all as well. A slight pull and the line broke(0,25 and 0,28mm).
Over 0,30mm it was OK but confidence in the Daiwa Sensor is lost after that experience with the lower diameters.

I stand to be corrected but anything under 0.33mm is under 12lb.
I've used 12lb Sensor and not had a problem

Which sensor are we talking about Marruo as I can't match those diameters in the brown?
I have older 6 & 8lb loaded on my feeder reels, never had a problem with it personally.

Those diameters are what i remember ive not used it for a long time but used to use the 8lb with a leader for distance and 12 and 15 for general fishing it was always reliable as new line came out i moved over to them

I like the 18lb and 20lb Sensor because if you don't need to cast a massive distance it is rated and tested to way over the stated bs, like GR60 without the price tag.

The problems I had was with the clear Daiwa Sensor. Bought these for barbel and general fishing not for carp I have to add. I bought the 0,24, 0,28 and 0,30mm if I remember correctly.

Dont have any experience with the green Sensor.
Not sure if that was a faulty batch I had or if that is standard with this line in these diameters but it was very very strange.

Ah, I see I've only ever used the brown but the chap in our local shop says the Hyper is worth a try for lower stretch...that's as far as I got as I tried Technium instead.

As it happens I bought a load of Technium Match Line when it was being sold off here so that's my next feeder line, though I have to admit I'm liking the new Preston Feeder braid, but it makes everything brown/red!!! but braid isn't allowed everywhere.

Why do companies put cheap dyes on braid to make it look different ...oh yes...because none fade braid costs more...doh!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
