What’s the colour of the line like in the water and on the lake bed?

I will go against the grain here,this is the worst line ive ever used.I have never ever had a mono birds nest on a cast,it was like braid but did it by the reel.I was lucky I was only chucking a two ounce lead 40 yards.It could of caused some damage if giving it a whack with a bigger lead,it went straight in the bin after that trip

I had a spool of '0.33' in the garage, purchased as Tacklebox line test states the 0.33 measures up as 0.33mm

spooled up with it last night and thought this is going on a bit too well - was disappointed to see it actually measures 0.27mm.

£22 down the drain and wasted time as .33mm was as thin as i could get away with really so will need to respool again - not sure I've got the confidence in the line diameters now.

Any one else got some and actually measured it and can provide some feedback?

Ive also used the 18lb ogx for a few years now after switching from syncro xt and really like it, and use it for the bulk of my fishing until the weed gets up in some venues then i switch to braid

Yep, been using this for the past 4 seasons (albeit not as much as I'd like !)
Started using this as I couldn't get 15lb GR60 at the time and haven't gone back.
I use the 18lb as I usually get my line by diameter and the 18lb is 0.37mm, where the GR60 at 15lb is 0.40mm

Best I've ever used and I've used most monos out there. The suppleness is unrivalled.

Someone on here recommend it. I’ve tried it and it’s outstanding. Ive been using flurocarbon for a few seasons and it feels good to have both options available. I must say, it’s a fantastic line, so long as it’s kept clean and well maintained by allowing any twists to naturally spin out, it’s a great mono IMO. Casts lovely in the 15lb/0.35mm option so if you’re looking for a new mono, I’d recommend giving this a go.
