Hi
Try any of the US online shops but not ebay. Exchange rate is good and even allowing for the P&P you will do better than here or the UK...
There is now lots of fake PowerPro braid out tehre and it is sh*te.
http://www.cabelas.com or http://www.e-angler.com or a guy in Florida, I will see if I can find his website...
Canadian dollar is exceptionally cheap too, might look there...
FWIW

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Careful with power pro guys...we've got this fake problem of power pro since a past 3-4 years back in malaysia...and now it seems to be spreading to this region.I trust them no more and never use them for the past 4 years.Its hard to detect wether its an original or fake even with guidance from the manufacture from their website.Now I m using Fins PRT braid wch is more reliable and idividually coated.Just my 2 cent....
been using berkley whiplash this season and so far i really like it. make sure that when you buy a braid that it is thin diameter and that it is round not flat, so it may be worth seeing whats in your local tackle shop first and maybe even buy it there for the first time and if you like it, then you can mail order in the future FWIW
