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!

Ya i use it on all my scratching rigs for shy bass and especially flats,the lad who introduced it to me swears by it and he is a quality match angler.One thing though the one i use is 14lb in strength and would always change the snoods after 1 session,bit of a bummer as the only spool i can get is 50m,way stronger than any other fluoros ive used ie stren,tubertini gorilla to name a few,give it a go .

i use it all the time for trout fishing. i got 100m spools from the states. i think they were known as guide spools. they were the same price as the 25m spools over here. dear stuff to change every time.
