I've used the 18lb and currently spoiled up with 15lb. Was only saying to myself earlier how impressive it is and how well it casts for a fluorocarbon. Maybe it's a user issue 🤷🏻‍♂️😬

Never had issues just tie it to a tree and walk back as far as the bank allows and stretch it before use.

Interesting comments. Credit where it's due I've also just loaded up with it for the first time and I'm quite impressed, particularly with its casting properties for a fluoro.

In fairness, I've also had it wrap round my spools but I use mags and I'm quite used to this anyway. I'm not saying it's user error at all, but it definitely takes more “maintenance” than others lines (quite typical for fluoros, I find). It gets a thumbs up from me, but horses for courses.

Only thing I'd change is the 200m spools - only takes one disaster and its 20 quid down the drain.

Just a quick heads up to avoid this stuff.

Needed up stripping it off after only a few sessions due to it always springing off the spool and either wrapping behind and under the spool or ending up in a total birds nest.

Tried tying the line to a peg and stretching out and didn't help.

Pile of rubbish and I don't usually say that about any Korda product
