My local has had it on order for over 2 weeks, had their dispatch note last week but still not turned up - seem a bit slow with the distribution.

I actually dont think there has ever been a difference. I think its more about people loading onto reels incorrectly (if they are getting twist) or they might be comparing different breaking strains or possibly even had a bad isolated spool of it. I dont see why i would feel/see no difference after the amount of spools of Technium black I have bought over the years.

I didn't notice any difference between the tinned or the plastic packaged stuff either, still got some of the plastic packed left as i bought a few spools before it disappeared.

As for pro clear i never used it but Terry had a lot of dealings with Berkley so it could have been one of theirs Trilene XL maybe.

The original tinned 12lb was the best mono made. I’ve tried loads since then and all have their issues. Everyone raves about the synchro, found it gets loads of twist. Best was the cm90 in terms of usability, but now can’t get that either.

im not sure why people are saying various editions are not the same as the original tinned stuff. Ive been using Technium black since 2000 and have bought multiple versions ... whether it is in tin or plastic packaging I have found it all pretty much the same (10lb and 12lb) .... How have people found it different?

If its the original stuff then yes, I once reeled in half a pallet with it from 60 yards out 😂 not sure if it’s changed or not, if it’s the original then il definitely be getting some.

Does the 12lb sink well and is the abrasion resistance good

No stock in Daves of Middlewich as of now, on order though.
Good to hear it'll be the original g4fne, I'll be interested to see how it differs from what's on my reels.

A Very good line- if its the same as the stuff sold in the tins. - the latter stuff was not the same at all!

The best mono i have ever used was Pro Clear by Terry Eustace - wish i could still get my hands on that!

Still cant find any shops that have it. Might give it a try to see what all the fuss is about. Will take something special to get me off esp syncro xt.
