At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!
carpets wrote:15lb daiwa tournament , for clean ground fishing ,great line lay,casting and knot strength and its the nuts for night time fishing ,when i"m out most..
you can get tapered shockleader for carp fishing that goes from 30lb to 10 lb ,15lb to 40lb,16lb to 50lb and 18lb to 60 or 70 lb ,if you dont like a leader knot or weed is a headache it can make things more user freindly ,smaller tip rings can be a nightmare on some rods,the cost isnt bad when you add up the cost of lost tackle if you are suffering from crackoff,s alot , best mono for clean beaches is BRAID only time i dont use it is in a bad cross wind!
years ago i got a bulk spool (3600yrds) of zebco rhino line which was excellent allround. about 15.6kg but with a very low diameter (at the time of purchase) needed a shackleader for weights above 3oz. ran out last year and now i am using teklon gold - a superior line but costly.
I just re spooled my reels with Ultima F1 after reading some of the comments here, I have say its a very nice line to use. Its much thinner and more supple than the rubbish I was using before, knots well too.

Where did you get it? No sign of it in waterford tackle shops I visited?

I don't think that it will be much help to you because I actually got it from Veals, I was getting a couple of bits and pieces so I just tagged it onto the order.
sk the closest place to Waterford you can get the F1 line is cork angling center on the Kinsale road roundabout, your better off getting it on ebay!! As the prices in that place
