Loads of it on Ebay at silly prices. As ever, you get what you pay for.... Its a complete pile of cack. I ordered a spool of the 50lb, its the kind of stuff you tie up bales hay with......complete tat. 50lb spiderwire is at most 1/3 of the diameter of this stuff, its a big pile of poo!

Ah, got plenty of braid, just trying it out as it was v cheap. Kind of fancy trying braid on a multi and with the onset I'm sure of inevitable birdies initially I didnt want to be using Powerpro or Spiderwire.

Well I'm waiting for my 20lb power pro to arrive. It should do the job with that (continentalish) shimano speedmaster rod I got..
