Hello all.
Would like to know if any of you guys are using this and if so what do you think.
Just got myself a couple of spools of the 0.16 30lb.
It's insanely thin, has a lovely round profile and sits on the spool beautifully but it doesn't seem to be all good. :-?
We have tested the 30lb without a knot breaking at 16 (dry) closer to twelve with a knot.
It seems very fragile when tying knots and very easily damaged, if the braid is pinched when tying the knot it breaks like cotton!
Also I am having a problem with the last few metres of the braid twisting, not twisting in the normal sense but spinning into a helical strand down the line, not actually twisted in the usual sense associated with problems with bail rollers etc. (it is even doing this a multiplier i have a spool on.)
It doesn't actually want to twist up into a tangle and there is no stored energy in the twist. If you untwist it it will twist back - very strange!
I have spoken to a couple more people who have tried it and it seems it's not just me having these problems.
I know a few people who have binned it already.
Just looking for a few more opinions on it..
Haven't had a fair chance to give it a proper work out yet so will stick with it and see how it goes anyway but would be great to know if anyone else is using it and if so what do you think??
Cheers
