Ultima the line people have added a casting section to their site, and anyone who uses their line already knows how good it is, fishing or casting!

Very good web site.

Anyone know a Irish retailer for the full range. I would like to get some light powersteel and 0.25 distance plus 0.75

Any thoughts?

I have mailed Ultima directly asking on how best to get the lines we use for casting, so will keep everyone updated here.
Recently switched all my casting reels to Ultima distance and am well impressed with it's quality, none better in my opinion.

Every yard helps! :D

0.25 is very hard to get is hi viz... I think Sakuma do a 0.26, but I can't recall. It would be nice if one of the Irish shops stocked the range.
