The simple answer to that Yoggy is, you can't, they don't sell it over here only in the states.

other than that american web based tackle dealers sell it, there's a few people on here that know some good ones, budgie for one , i think rik might know some adresses too.

no it's not.
There is no Stren Flouro on Ebay, I would have linked it if there was....

Well I did think it would have mentioned it on the box and I couldn't see it.

Is it that special to have fluorocarbon mainline? I ask as a serious question. Can anyone who is now using Krystonite say that they are catching more fish than before?

Or am I about to be given a seeing to for questioning the great gods of angling?

he only wanted it for hooklengths I think.

I think the Krystonite will come into its own, when the clear winter rivers arrive.

Yes,,i wanted it for hooklengths!!!,,a mate of mine highly recommended it,,and your right Rik it aint fluoro...i was unaware we couldn"t get it in this country!!!...after some thought it seems a lot of hassle chasing a hooklength in the US!!!,,i"ll more than likely give the Drennan fluoro flyleader a go..cheers anyway.
