Tried Finns and hated it. Powerpro is the best I've come across so far..
Cheers, Scott.

Ok thanks guys, it's a toss up between super pe and power pro at this stage.

I'd go the sunline. I've never used powerpro, but I love sunline. Incredibly thin, supple and ties great knots. Plus I hate the yellow colour of a lot of braids, I find it harsh on the eyes, so the lime green sunline is a nice change.

Tasline. The best. Specially formulated by Paulus - a renowned braid tester! Look up Just Paulus on the web.

I was considering either power pro or sas(tas line) to spool an overhead penn fathom

I couldn't recommend tasline more highly. Incredibly thin also.

Incredibly expensive also, for a rod and reel that isn't used all the time

Hi Brett,

Our Shiyuza braid has outstanding knot tying characteristics.

I recommend you try it. It's very reasonably priced with your 20% discount.

If you don't like it, I will give you a full refund. :-)

Cheers Amanda

Fishing lines are like car tyres - worth the money!

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