[scottiedog]

Anyone using that bulk mono from mullarkeys? The £2.99 a spool stuff, just wondering how good it is.

Yes I have a long time ago it was Ok, nothing wrong with it ideal for filling reels.

Sounds ideal for backing !!

sounds like it would be ok for backing reels as other have said

for main line i'm using Preston line

Line choice is really quite personal, you never really are able to appraise it until you have tried it - especially in higher BS.

Personally my key criteria suppleness. I am not happy with springymono. The lower the memory the better.

Loads of folk swear by the Daiwa cheap stuff, but I just could not get on with it. I went back to the expensive gold label stuff, simply because of the lack of line memory and its suppleness.
At the end of the day you get what you pay for and buying cheap mono will cause you loads of problems!

mark, there is a lot of mainlines out there better than gold pro.

The two things I never mess about with are line and hooks. When all said & done they are the most important parts of any set up & I wont compromise on either...no matter how much of a "bargain" they might appear. Never tried Mullarkeys bulk and I never will....tried Daiwa Sensor....went immediately to the bin.

I have found a mainline I like & trust implicitly and I wont change.

Pro Gold is awesome stuff and very hard to beat I think, although I like GR60 equally.

Interested to find out what mainlines would be better than these two?

Daiwa Sensor eh?

I have to agree with the previous posters regarding this stuff, it certainly is cheap and lots of people get on with it I am sure. Me - no. I find it so damned springy it drives me crazy.

I agree with the post about no cutting corners with line. Shimano Technium is quite expensive, but to me it is worth every penny!

Like I said before, line choice is very personal.
