Anyone used it? If so I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

Steve - there have been some lengthy debates about this line on BFW in the past though I didn't pay too much attention to the outcome! rolleyes.gif

Steve - are you refering to the hooklength materials they make?

If so, I was going to buy some, but was advised by a poster on here (can't remember who) to buy suffix line instead - better and cheaper, and although I can't compare the two, I have had no problems at all with the suffix line.

all the best

Steve, Krystonite is a proven mono, very popular (under another name) in the USA. In addition to being used in freshwater, it is widely used by light-line sea fishermen seeking bonefish etc.

It knots well with virtually 100% knot-strength; use Palomar or once-through-eye, four-turn Clinch/Uni/Ginner (don't be tempted to use twice-though-eye or more than four turns).

It's nice line; I've used it for about two years - not exclusively, though, because I'm reluctant to switch completely from existing, long-term favourites.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay in replying but I've only just got back from a couple of days at Wingham.

I ordered 1000yards of the 8lb yesterday from Short Ferry Angling and it arrived this morning. Excellent service, and what's more everything at Short Ferry is post free!
