Terminal Tackle

The TC boys get to grips with tackle and bait, testing them to the limit out on the bank. Here’s what they think…


CARP FISHING GROUP  X LINE
RRP: £13.95
Website: N/A
Test period: Six months
Jason Umney says: Although I use monofilament a lot, I recently swapped to fluorocarbon because I started fishing an intimate, gin-clear pit. The lake’s residents are cute and I’m certain that they spook from anglers’ main lines. X Line is ideal because it’s strong, sinks like a brick and virtually invisible once on the bottom. Like most fluorocarbon main line it doesn’t cast particularly well, so it’s not great if you’re trying to fish at range.

Jason's Verdict
Performance: ★★★★★★★★★★
Value: ★★★★★★★★★★
Strong and sinks well, but not cheap!
