I'm using the 15lb and I've used the 10lb in the past. It's tough stuff, but it's slightly understated on diameter and the 15lb is just under 0.35mm. Use a grinner knot and it pretty much lives up to the claims on the packaging.

Cool. How does it compare to the usual favourites like Maxima Chameleon or Diawa Sensor?

I don't use Maxima, but it's a nicer line than Sensor (a bit more supple and I think a bit thinner).

sorry to drag this up but has anyone got any more feedback on the Wychwood Solace line? Saw some of it recently and it looked good despite the low cost. It looked like it could be very useful as floater fishing hooklinks for carp... like Drennan double strength but stronger.

It certainly looks the part. Low memory, limp and seemed very strong on a straight pull but I always worry about "thin diameter" meaning "weak" when it comes to mono.

Id be interested to know if it would be any good also for hooklinks.
