Ahh fair enough, ive used it for a few years now, respooled by choice probably twice a year and always got on with it. As previously mentioned I might stick to what im happy with to be safe. Cheers.

Im looking to change my mainline in the next month or so and have been using Thinking Anglers OGX for a couple of years now.
Ive got no reason to look at an alternative mainline as I've been happy with the OGX but I have read and heard some good things about Korda's new Kaizen mainline and wondered if anyone had changed from OGX to Kaizen?

I appreciate this is an old post but i was wondering what people make of ZR after using it a few years? I use point shield from Gardner but im finding im bringing sharpened hooks back in after 2hours with corrosion still!

Can we not just use a clear lacquer paint pen from a vehicle touch up kit?

I know i did consider it, however my fishing rods are 12ft and im only a short arse so I decided that id keep it to a 12ft and improve my technique and go from there. I might be wrong but I figured a 13ft spod rod would be better suited if i was using 13ft fishing rods too.

It wasn't exactly a great deal, TFT did me the rod and reel for £300.
AD had the rod for £150 but no stock available! Wave Inn was a better price for the 13ft but i wanted a 12ft.

Yes definitely need to work on my casting! Would i be right in thinking the Dawia Super Spod wouldn't be ideal combination with the reel?

Ok thanks for all the replies.

I don't mind spending more if necessary, what i didn't want to do was buy fashion over function shall we say. I don't or probably won't use it a great deal and when i do id imagine majority of the times its going to be 100yards or less but that said I guess its a tool ill always have for when I need it.

Not many comments on the Fox/Spomb X rods? I do like the idea of this dedicated spomb reel from them.
Are you sure?

Yes, continue
