Fishing lines are like car tyres - worth the money!

Even so, it's not really that expensive, is it?

Considering some of the reviews for tasline, I'd rather not waste $100. Thanks anyway.

That being said Brett, have you read the reviews for sunline? Every brand has bad reviews!
In saying that I use icon (fins) and love it's strength! Even if it is a bit rope like hahaha

Yep- my 8lb Tasline was so thin it tangled too easily, but my 20lb and 50lb lines are fantastic.

Sufix 832 advanced super braid best of all braids, expensive though..30 lb 0.29 mm and 50 lb - 0.34 mm
For long distance casting less diameter sufix matrix pro 20 lb - 0.18 mm and 30 lb 0.23 mm.
the minimum price in store you can get is $65 for 300 yards. That's what i paid lol..

can vouch for Power pro and Suffix, use them both and love em.

Ps: where are people getting their power pro these days? a year back when i was more active here people were getting it from an American Ebay seller (unsure if allowed to post name?)
had a look before and saw it has gone up alot in price with the Aus Dollar going down but still about half the shelf price here.
