When I opened the small box that contained this line there was a note inside from TC editor Marc Coulson, which explained that this line was bulletproof. In fact, Marc said he rated it as one of the strongest lines he’d ever used and he’d deliberately sent it to me following a telephone conversation where I’d enquired about strong lines. So, after a couple of months using it, would I agree with him? Absolutely! The lake I fish is pretty weedy and this, plus the naturals that abound in it, put any main line under immense scrutiny. So far, where I’d expect to change the last few metres of any line after almost every trip, this has stood up much better than most.

As an avid rig putty user I was asked to give this a go and, wow, I certainly have been missing out. I began using it like a crayon and by rubbing it along supple braided hooklengths it prevented them looping up once the solid PVA bag had melted. It was easy to use, can be applied instantly and immediately cast out. After I saw how effective it was, I began using it in larger pieces, as you would use rig putty.

TC reader Dean Sharp says: "I already use this line so I was chuffed when Marc Coulson sent me three spools to review. It didn’t take me long to decide what to say because I absolutely love the stuff. "It’s relatively supple so is easy to use and, like any fluorocarbon, it is near invisible in water. When I first switched to using it around seven months ago my fishing was transformed when compared with using coated-braid hook links.
