I don't blame you in the least. I'm still undecided about the stuff, just reporting as I see it so far. i.e. it floats or not, it's thin etc. No definitive statements from me that it's "the answer" to anything. Reality is that it's probably not, particularly at the prices you mention. As it is I didn't pay more than £15 inc P+P. It was just a punt on something that looked promising by someone that has found a fairly recent liking for some of the attributes of braid.

Indeed, all I was trying to point out was the differences between the Berkley US website and the (Pure Fishing) Berkley EU/UK site. There's no chance that the US site would say it was suitable for stick float fishing. That wouldn't sell many spools of the stuff Stateside. On either site it's just marketing waffle.
