Recieved my spool of the 12lb from Bobco today. I can see it shares similarities with it's bigger cousin the 15lb just scaled down, though that is straight off the spool so probably a little stiff at the mo, would benfit from a bit of working but I much prefer it to the 15 as is, time will tell in use though from other peoples experiences it'll be a goodun.

😀👍🏻 yes its all a bit confusing. I did mean the new stuff but i imagine the bobco stuff is the same, but no idea really. Does mono degrade over time as the bobco one will be quite old i would think but i dont think it makes any difference if its out of direct uv light and in its packaging.

I didn't want to reply mate as I thought you meant the so called 'new stuff' and my head hurts enough on that subject already 
Glad you got sorted

I'm not mate, i just hope the 12/0.32 is a bit more to my liking compared to the 15/0.38. My only interest in the new was if it was thinner at the same breaking strain which appears not to be the case. The age of a shop bought spool doesn't bother me either, as long as it's not a window/display spool.

honestly, i wouldnt worry about it being old or new ... I have bought loads of spools of 0.33mm dia (black - tinned and boxed versions) since early 2000s and regardless of the conspiracy theories of some, it all feels and behaved as the same stuff in my experience.

I think it is the old - believe that they were selling it prior to the release of the 'new stuff'. Although I'm still somewhat confused as to whether the new release is the same as the original or the second generation which I believe had the same diameters and packaging as this.
If you're confused I don't stand a bloody chance 
According to the Shimano FB Post g4fne quoted earlier it's just a relaunch of the old stuff so exactly the same as the old stuff from Bobco just near £20 odd quid more, but who knows

Just bumping this as I had a reply from Bobco re the £5 spools of 12lb Technium (£5.29 delivered) they've got listed on Ebay, . They've said the 12lb listed is the black, not the Invisitec as shown in the main pic but as shown in the description.
That's a bargain in my book even if I end up using it as bean netting
