'THE BEST'

Strengths:
Knots tie well, does not curl and very strong

Weaknesses:
Cant find any

Overall:
I was float fishing with this stuff as my hook link, i saw a fair sized ghosty on the surface so plonked the bait right on its nose, the fish took and after about 5 mins the hook lost its hold but the line didnt break.

'GET SOME!'

Strengths:
Used this all last season for match fishing the commercials. Put it under lots of pressure and was never let down (unless due to my own faults). Only ever used it with eyed hooks using knotless knot so can't comment too much on which knot is best, but I would certainly recommend the knotless knot/eyed hook.

Weaknesses:
None.

Overall:
Excellent for commercial bagging on the pole.

'STRONG, THIN DIAMETER LINE THAT YOU CAN USE FOR EVERYTHING'

Strengths:
very strong, copes well under pressure. different sizes mean there is a strength for every fish you fish for.

Weaknesses:
not enough to fit on match spool. should be sold in 300m spools.

Overall:
the price may be high but its well worth it if you want that chance of landing a bigger fish.

'GOOD STUFF UNTIL YOU USE IT'

Strengths:
Its main strengths lie in whats written on the packet. It states an excellent strength to diameter ratio, along with all the other gumf. It is very flexible and affects presentation of baits minimaly. It is very low visiblity. Good knots: 5 turn grinner, whipping knot

Weaknesses:
Its stated diameters are low. Its breaking strain is overstated. It breaks unexpectedly when playing fish. It kinks relatively easily. It has terrible knot strength. Bad knots: figure 8 loop, knotless knot, palomar knot

Overall:
My experience of this product is a bad one Im afraid. I have been using 0.15mm which I am told is more like 0.17 by my pole fisher friend. It also breaks far lower than the stated 5.14lb when I tested it. I am a very careful knot tier, but I couldnt get any consistancy from the knots, they would often part unexpectedly while playing fish. That said, I am (sorry WAS) using it for tench on gravel pits which certainly tests kit to the limit. This product is for the pole anglers only. My flirtation with hi-tech mono's for tench has ended!

'FEELS LIKE SILK'

Strengths:
Typical Preston quality very good in all strengths when used with a pole. Silk to the touch with a thin diameter for the strength.

Weaknesses:
None when used with the pole but if you wanted to use it a reel line 100M is to low.

Overall:
Very good matched I think for the pole/whip angler in mind.
