I've used Manster braid for a few years now, used to be called Monster.
I use it in 40lb straight through for spodding up to and over 100m.
I also use it in 25lb as a mainline braid with a fluoro leader for distance fishing.
It's a good as, if not better than power pro.

18 years for me - Doesn't time fly?

Same here,
We are out on the 25th.
Fingers crossed for spawning to hold off a little while longer.
Always a bit of a gamble this time of year though.

I have a Quest Defier 1 man and bought a front extension for that very reason.
Plenty of room for 2 beds lengthways with the front extension on and a cracking 1 man bivvy without.

I've had one for about 6 months now.
Excellent quality and like has already been said, a big 1 man bivvy.
I bought the extended front recently to use as a two man when my son comes along.
This turns it into a sizable bivvy with plenty of room for two people and all their kit.
It goes up and packs up easily and quickly, fitting into its carryall with no problems.
I also have the mk2 which had it's failings (poor quality mesh and poles, both of which I replaced myself), these have been rectified on the mk3.

Thanks Anton,

There are 4 of us booked on there next April for a social.
I just find it strange with all the YouTube footage of other lakes available, there is next to nothing on Brenne.
Your reply gives us a bit more confidence on the fishing front.

Cheers,

Jason

Hi Guys,

Has anyone fished Brenne lake (Part of the Exclusive Carp Venues portfolio)?
Finding it hard to find any info about the place, other than the Exclusive Facebook page.
Only drone footage on YouTube, as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Try fishing a heavy running lead with the same set up

Have you looked at the Rigmarole FLX fluoro coated mono mainline in 20lb bs?
It's a similar diameter (0.41mm v 0.40mm) in 20lb and is a lot cheaper at £18.99 for 600m, direct from Rigmarole.

I've had these for my Power Aero 14000 XTB's for a few years now.
Be aware that the shallow spools are VERY shallow - I don't know who would be using 100yds of 20lb casting braid?
I sold on 2 sets of 3 on Ebay that were too shallow for me, but have kept the deepest Teflon spools with carbon washers and line clips.
These hold around 240m of 20lb casting braid.
the clickers are very loud and you can hear them over a quiet Delkim and the drag is very good, with a better adjustment than the original quick drags. they are also much lighter than the original spools.
The only issue that the C clip behind the line clips have started to rust, but I've now put a bit of grease on that to prevent further corrosion.
Like what was said earlier, wait for the 20% discounts to appear, then a set of 3 delivered for just over £100.
