Mmm.....well to be honest I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the same line relaunched,
The old sensor they did 3 and 4 lb line, the supposedly new sensor they now apparently only go down to 5 lb.
Another factor that needs looking and thinking about is :
The 3 lb original is 0.18 mm and the new hyper of 5 lb is also 0.18 mm aswell
Most other 3 lb lines are about 0.15-16mm whereas the original 3 lb maybe a tad thicker in diameter compared to other lines but personally I think I'd rather stick with the original :thumbs:

I've never used the hyper sensor and am well happy with the original version so like yourself Stuart I just stick with that
.If I want a finer line near the hook I just add a low diameter bottom, usually silstar match or prestons.

I guess the question is - "is it broke"? To my mind, original Sensor is a great product - cheap, effective, reliable. There are lines on the market with less memory, there are lines on the market that are lower diameter, there are lines on the market that are less visible... however, I'm not convinced that any of the parameters above - which all subsequently carry a higher price tag - would result in me catching any more fish. So I will carry on using Sensor - dark brown springy shiny original - until I feel there's a good reason to change.
(The last twelve inches before the hook is a different matter, I'm a sucker for anything then!)
