'KIND TO PIKE, KINKS IF YOU LOOK AT IT CROSSEYED.'
Strengths: Coated with plastic, so easy to handle and kinder to a hooked fish, and stops 7 strand unwinding at a cut end. The price is OK, but I can only land 2 fish at the most on the 20lb without it curling up or kinking badly.
Weaknesses: Plastic invariably stripped off by pike, making a mess of the trace. 15lb kinks far too easily, 20lb not a lot better. Over 20lb too thick for me because of the coating. Plastic stiffens the trace. Confidence reduced because a crimp is gripping plastic, not wire. Overcome by stripping the wire at the crimp, but that is causing extra work, and the wire alone is easy to kink and curl.
Overall: I have used this for a while, because I liked the protective coating for a hooked fish. I have recently got hold of some 30lb fox easy twist, which seems thinner than the coated Drennan in 15lb, and more supple. I will do some tests to see if it does any damage, and how easily it kinks.
