Woops..... Sorry dude, If it makes you feel better I had to buy quite a few spools before I figured out it was rubbish through the range. :oops:

It was indeed John, you couldn't even contemplate using mono on long light snoods like that, asking for disaster!
However, I have a spool of 38Lb Berkely stuff, its the stuff thats gold out of the water and clear under it.... Its fantastic stuff. I've used it for all sorts without any issues whatsoever over the past year or two
