Very good tough and flexible no knot problems all in all just right at any length on the rock strewn Trent. |

| 'TOUGH AS OLD BOOTS' | | Strengths:
Good strong line with a density close to water so making it near invisable to the fish, comes in 20m spools which is enough considering it used only as a hook link mainly in clear conditions so it will last a while for most people, so far its proved very well when putting barbel under presure and over gravel, no abrasive wear detected which adds confidence. | | Weaknesses:
£4.25 is a lot for 20m | | Overall:
So far I have used only the 10 & 12lb, be aware that it is more fiddily tying knots, if you feel you have tied a poor one start again, the 10lb is much easier to use and is still very strong. I have heard of these american lines but still believe that you get what you pay for and in these diameters you are after decent fish which will pull back and try and run you into all sorts of snags, thats not a time to wish you'd spent that little bit extra. I would also advise a hook link of 12"+ as there is no give in this line and shorter hook links could part. |

| 'GOOD STUFF' | | Strengths:
Excellent for stiff rigs | | Weaknesses:
A bit pricey for only 20m, but still good value next to most braids. | | Overall:
Good quality flourocarbon which is excellent for stiff rigs, despite being a "stupid carp angler" i am more than happy to pay the price. I bought an alternative and highly branded flourocarbon that came on 250M spools, it was a bargain at only £9.99. Well it was until you realised the claimed 12lb line was snapping at just under 7lb |

| 'A LAUGH A MINUTE' | | Strengths:
It's a good line but..... | | Weaknesses:
The price is utterly ridiculous. Because it has the name ESP on it it will appeal to the stupid carp anglers who will buy anything that pretends to be designed for carp angling.
Again, it's most likely Stren in another guise. You can buy 250 yards of the stuff in the USA for less than £4!!!!
| | Overall:
Forget it and buy Stren. |
