  Superfine, super priced, is it super duper or not? Anyone given it a go and for what? Spinning, trotting, feeder work? Any use as a hook length or is it too ‘kinky’ 😮

  I have used lines in italy which have the same breaking strains. At a fraction of the cost, Though i have never checked the diameters.

  This might give you some idea why I’m interested. The diameters are very small .02mm with a 1.4Kg breaking strain. 0.10 for a 5.7Kg BS. 😮

  It looks interesting……but the blurb is confusing…to me at least,
  
  It states this new line is not Braid, but further down the page it says it is the ultimate BRAID for bass etc;
  
  It appears to have all the properties of braid to me but of course I am basing my comments on the advert NOT from personal experience, worth a look though!

  Its alright having a thin diameter but you get loads more tangles imagine havine 0.2 diameter its too thin nothing but problems in my opinion

  There’s only one way to find out if it’s any good , we will not know until we try it, can you remember what it was like when the pre stretched lines came out with thin diameter and higher breaking strains

  With this line being so thin, are we saying the hooklength will be a greater diameter than the main line or do you use the same line for hooklengths?
  
  :confused:

  I’m not sure whether this is being marketed correctly in the UK as the US version on Ebay is 0.002″ which equates to just under 0.06mm. If the 0.08mm stuff being sold in the UK is really 0.008″ which equates to around 0.20mm then that would certainly explain why its BS is 4kg odd…..
  
  Don’t get caught out on this guys, I looked at it in autumn and can’t see why the 2lb version in the US is 0.002″(0.06mm) and the 3lb version over here is supposed to be 0.02mm…..just doesn’t seem right to me…..
