Progold monofilament

[ian g]

I did something similar Mike , though I think it might be coming from China after receiving an email yesterday .No big issue as I was sticking up really

Likewise Ian. I have lots of 5.4 and 6 lb and some 4.4 ( thanks to S63) so with those ordered I should be set for life. The price was fine and the hooks were cheaper too. I had a look at their reel prices which looked very reasonable.

I paid on PayPal so am protected.

If anybody needs some let me know.

Ah,I travel through to fish a club lake just outside Stevenage for crucians.

Its many years since I last fished for Crucians there used to be a small pond near the Redcoats pub in Stevenage which was full of them although a 2lb pkus fish was rare.

I had a look at their reels. Ridiculously good prices on some. I dont need any more reels but at these prices I might have to.

Never heard of this lot. Are they kosher ?

Looks dodgy to me

I don't understand this product. It's popular and highly rated but almost impossible to get hold of.

I like it including the colour and have some in varying bs. I thought I would buy some 8lb but can only find it in 5,000m lengths. Who would buy mono in such lengths? I won't so will get some sensor.


I have spools 3.5lb and the 4.7lb range it's strong and floats really well. It is slightly thick, but reading the label it's underrated in its breaking strain. If I could get it in 2.5lb (so really around 3lb) it would be the ideal stick float line, and the 4.7 for light feeder work on commercials.

My order was confirmed and now it's posted so I'll confirm if it arrives.

 

[bencarvosso]

Thanks .
Hope it all goes well for you.
I didn't see any option for PayPal on it

 

[S-Kippy]

Have you seen the price of the Acolytes and Ultralights on there ? Silly money.

 

[mikench]

It's only apparent after you have opened an account and gone to checkout. I have definitely paid in US $ on PayPal. I think the site is in Hong Kong and we shall see if it is genuine or not.

 

[bencarvosso]

Did they give you a est date of delivery.
If legit some serious deals.
Fish finders that are 600 for under 100
Baitboat 82
Tdrs 82 quid
Acolyte 82 quid
Could make a serious dent in my pocket lol

 

[mikench]

No but goods are shipped( my guess from Hong Kong) within 3 to 5 working days. I seriously suggest you only buy if paid for with PayPal and that you wait until I receive my order and can confirm all is in order. I was tempted by a couple of reels and an Acolyte landing net pole but resisted.

I have only come unstuck twice ordering from the US and the Far East and on each occasion I received a full refund from PayPal.

Some of the prices do look too good to be true. They are priced in £'s but converted to US dollars at a poor exchange rate(1.19) in my case. I am usually wary but it was £34 I spent which isn't a great deal to risk. It's not Bitcoin

 

[bencarvosso]

Suppose nothing to lose when you look at it like that

If its not then we know who to blame dont we....Jerry !

And...if its being shipped from outside the EU then it will be liable for import duty and VAT so you can add 20% min. Good time to smuggle though.

 

[markcw]

I am sure I have seen this line in The Range . Not having one near to Oxford I cannot check. Am going from memory on the one in Warrington.

 

[mikench]

I’ll let everyone know the news good or bad.

Cheers Skip - hope you're next encounter once fishing commences is the infamous Red Shorts with the POD in full voice in the next swim....................

At least Pro-Gold is one of the few lines still made in Japan.....

The horror ! I felt sorry for RS when Intertype lost SP. He could walk there but without transport I can’t think where else he could get to. I doubt POD is still with us but you never know.

I don’t miss either.....and have you ever used this random site or was it a fluke find ?
