0.50 is worse. I prefer the 0.45 and use a perfection loop knot. Sits nice and straight. Figure of 8 always kicks out to one side on all stiff materials.

Got nothing to do with the braid. The strong cross wind is the problem.

I'm thinking of using the 18lb version aswell so would be interested in people's opinions on it. Alot of people use the 0.37

Yeh i think your right 0.35 just wasnt strong enough when I was in a hit and hold situation. Iv used the line for yrs but never had any issues in similar situations. Dont want it to happen again. I have a few spools of the pro blend in 0.40 in the shed but abit reluctant to use it. Line needs to cast well aswell. Alot of the fishing is upto 80-120 yards. Thinking of the 0.40 syncro. Heard its pretty good stuff or the gt80+ 0.40

Hi All,

Not long returned from a session and am feeling rather wounded. Lost a good fish on my tricky syndicate due to a line failure. Snapped near the net down a margin trying to stop the fish going into a snag. Bites are hard to come by so being let down by my tackle has blown my mind. Been using GTHD 15lb for a while with no issues but today was the day it let me down. Iv lost all faith in it now and am looking for a new line with reels stripped already. Gravel pit, bars, weed, and big fish. Needs to cast and sink well but also withstand the conditions above. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi All,

I have been using leadcore for years but feel like giving the leadfree stuff a try after plenty of people raving about it. What is the best one on the market? Easiest to splice, sinks the best, ect?

Cheers

If the inner is to soft the hook ends up folding back and ends up sitting on top of the hooklink & reducing your chance of a bite. The inner core needs a slight element of ridgity to help it fall away from the stiffer boom section
