My question is what line to use with a centre pin reel for trotting its a mix of roach, dace and chub in the river I am going to try I have looked at Drennan supplex are there any others I could investigate?.
Line choices largely come down to a combination of user preference, cost and availability. If I had to buy some line for trotting asap, it would probably be Dave Harrell Pro-Float. The significant factor there is that I know it's available in my local tackle shop. However, I'd happily settle for Bayer Perlon, Silstar Match Team, or Drennan Float Fish, if they had any of them in stock. There aren't many monos that are genuinely buoyant, but I try to avoid those that are much denser than water (i.e. sink fastest). I'm not remotely interested in any line that necessitates the use of some form of treatment.
I've used Dave Harrell Pro Float for two years and Pro Match for one season. Pro Match is a better line (less curly) and resists sinking
What Ray and Tigger said. I have just spooled a new pin with sensor and look forward to trying it. It's really good value too.
Its certainly cheap and readily available. Personally I think that has a lot to do with its popularity. I hate the stuff as you all well know and will not use line I don’t get on with irrespective of how cheap it might be. There are much better lines out there imo.
I think your gonn'a get a few varying opinions on this.
No use me saying my favourite line as it only lays on the surface so is a sinking line, apparently it's wirey and has memory, it's thick in diameter and stretchy.....so really no use for trotting at all. Funny thing is it works for me and I catch fish with it .
My second favourite is as posted above by chrissh...bayer perlon.
I don’t think I have ever lost a fish through using sensor. It’s quite abrasion resistant. With a pin line twist isn’t a problem and it sits well on the water. I don’t really see what’s not to like.
It's too thick for stick float fishing; I prefer a line that's 0.12 to 0.14 in diameter not 0.20 which is what 4lb Sensoor is.
Has anyone that doesn't like Sensor ever tried to suggest that you can't/won't catch anything if you use it? I've never noticed it if they have. It would be quite ridiculous to do so. As ever, I couldn't care less how many people love it. I don't care how well they do with it.

Chris, i'm sure you know me well enough by now to know I really don't give a toss wether anyone else but me uses it, I try not to mention it's name as the same old crew instantly form a possey and start slagging it off?
At the end of the day I know it works well and am willing to fish along side anyone to prove it does.
What makes 0.20 too thick for stick float fishing?
