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!

I used Sakuma niteCrystal before and wouldn't touch it again..found it very weak and it got abraided very quickly! It could have been a crap spool i got that was left in a shop display window or something but it was enough for me to not try it again!

I'd go with suffix titanium 15lbs for penn 525 clean ground fishing but can't get it so currently use varivas clear as I buy from veals alot. Daiwa sensor is thick for lb strength but being a bit over .35 on a 525 is no bad thing. I didn't like sakuma nite crystal with it nesting and being generaly not nice. I've heard a few sing it's praises on the tinternet but any of the lads I know that have used have hated it. I use sakuma bright for clean ground distance fishing for ray 16lb 0.33mm and have brought double figure fish in on it but for thats on my 6500s. I've used the 20lb version (I think it's 0.38) for the 525. Only down side is the dye comes off on to your hands
