Ultima Power Steel.
This is sold as sea fishing line but in fact it's the same as the old discontinued Ultima Power Carp without the carp tax.
It's a clear flouro coated mono. Good all round line, brilliant invisibility in water. It can be a bit bouncy for the first couple of sessions but soon settles down. Being as they are selling it as sea line it sometimes takes a bit of hunting down in the lower breaking strains of 12 or 15lb.
👍

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I will be taking a look at most, if not all of them.
As it happens I came across Spiderwire Invisibraid Translucent, is this just a marketing gimmick? Or does anyone have any experience using it?

Trilene big game

I've not used it in .40, but Berkley Trilene XT or XL are decent lines.

Does anybody remember Terry Eustace Pro Clear? I still use it as I got some a little while ago from Birmingham Angling. I used to use it in 16 lbs but you'd probably need a bigger BS for 0.40mm.

Long chuck is by far the worst mono I've ever used.. had it in 15 for start of last spring, come the end of spring it was snapping like cotton. I'd written to korda to complain and they offered me a spool of 17 free gratis.. 2 months later the 17 did the exact same thing. Sacked it off as a bad idea now. Berkley big game all the way now

I remember this Brand from when I was a kid, and a brand that isn't talked about an awful lot.
I'll take a look, thanks.

Does it have to be clear? not fashionable but Maxima chameleon is a very good line.

Certainly braid with a mono or fluoro leader could be an option.
I'm used to fishing with mono over here, I mostly only use Braid in France, generally due to it being banned on most waters I fish on these shores.

I used the longchuck in 17lb this year and thought it was good. Bit lively when it first gets put on but settles nicely after a good stretch

What about braid with a fluoro or mono leader? Going back to mono is like fishing with a rubber band after braid.
There are more advantages to fluoro than visibility. It's much more resistant to abrasion for one.
