thx, to replace my discontinued old CM90 18LB, looks like i'm going with Gardner GT-HD 18lb line 0.39 830M at £21...unless someone here says this line has also go down hill lol!😱

yeah diawa sensor 18lb is a lot cheaper than GT-HD above, but the line & hooks are the most important for me so not about price...

whats this line like NOW in 2026? tia.

looking at buying Thinking Anglers OGX Copolymer Mainline 18lb 0.37mm 1000m

now its 2026 what are your guys thoughts on this line, cos my research is telling lines change (for the worst) so much in a short time frame....
