Someone on here recommend it. I’ve tried it and it’s outstanding. Ive been using flurocarbon for a few seasons and it feels good to have both options available. I must say, it’s a fantastic line, so long as it’s kept clean and well maintained by allowing any twists to naturally spin out, it’s a great mono IMO. Casts lovely in the 15lb/0.35mm option so if you’re looking for a new mono, I’d recommend giving this a go.

Best I've ever used and I've used most monos out there. The suppleness is unrivalled.

Yep, been using this for the past 4 seasons (albeit not as much as I'd like !)
Started using this as I couldn't get 15lb GR60 at the time and haven't gone back.
I use the 18lb as I usually get my line by diameter and the 18lb is 0.37mm, where the GR60 at 15lb is 0.40mm

Ive also used the 18lb ogx for a few years now after switching from syncro xt and really like it, and use it for the bulk of my fishing until the weed gets up in some venues then i switch to braid

I had a spool of '0.33' in the garage, purchased as Tacklebox line test states the 0.33 measures up as 0.33mm

spooled up with it last night and thought this is going on a bit too well - was disappointed to see it actually measures 0.27mm.

£22 down the drain and wasted time as .33mm was as thin as i could get away with really so will need to respool again - not sure I've got the confidence in the line diameters now.

Any one else got some and actually measured it and can provide some feedback?

I will go against the grain here,this is the worst line ive ever used.I have never ever had a mono birds nest on a cast,it was like braid but did it by the reel.I was lucky I was only chucking a two ounce lead 40 yards.It could of caused some damage if giving it a whack with a bigger lead,it went straight in the bin after that trip

What’s the colour of the line like in the water and on the lake bed?
