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!

#1 Post by red »

found this earlier and it makes for some interesting reading. all lines tested were said to be 15lbs lines.

Good find... that's very interesting alright, have used Daiwa Sensor a lot and never had a problem just check for abrasion every few casts when fishing lures over snaggy ground... lately switched to braid with a fluoro rubbing leader but still use a spool of 15lbs mono for certain marks.
Everyone should believe in something; I believe I’ll go fishing.
