Thanks Adrian. This does seem to be a question that not many want to address.
I use DT, because I use DT for all my flyfishing and it was a logical thing for me to buy when I started Salmon fishing years ago. There was no aesthetic reason for it and since I do very little Salmon fishing, co's I have to work and live in South East England, I thought that now that my Salmon lines are perhaps coming to the end of their useful life and that I may soon think about changing them, I might as well ask what others think.
