I use any but have found 'super strong match' made by VMC. They are VERY good and reliable IMO. I dont see them around as much as I used to but buy them when I do.

 

I only buy hooks to nylon when after smaller fish nothing bigger than 10lb as most of them dont go higher breaking strains than 4/5lb line

DG - took a look into that Sufix, the stealth skin gets some good reviews, and it's a damn site cheaper than the Kryston - thanks for the info, ordered some 15lb in brown, and green.

Please let me/us know how you get-on with it.

 

Sufix make their own (TAO I Fibres) but Kryston have theirs made for them = higher cost

Started using Stroft at the back end of last season. Seems OK so far.

... that's an interesting one, Paul! I have heard of it, but never seen or used it myself. I think game-anglers use it a lot?

 

Thanks for the info

 

I guess you get it from your mates at the TackleShop

Stroft is very good line, I've used the 5lb mono for a long time now - German I think.
