From what I can tell you can use some for tackle pouch, lead pouch, scales, plus a couple of zip up boilie bags!

12lb Daiwa sensor in brown for me, I feel confident using it and it hasn't let me down

Could always coat it in factor 50 lol

If you are looking for a cheap, reliable line you could do a lot worse than Daiwa Sensor. Probably the most popular line out there, a real "Jack of all trades". You could fill up three spools for peanuts and not really have cause to complain. The "best" line? That's where it gets a little more personal and subjective. For me? Shimano Technium Black. It has never let me down. Knots well, sinks well, casts well, has very little stretch, and is as tough as old boots. It's more expensive than others, (although some newer brands are catching up), but the best is worth paying for. If money were no object, and I could afford the very best tackle that money could buy, I guarantee that Technium Black would still be on my reels.

Could do worse buddy.

You need to figure out what's important to you fella. - For distance casting go for a pre-stretched line (e.g. Fox Exocet etc.). They cast fantastically but aint so good where abrasion resistance is required. - For general angling without too much weed go for one of the new low stretch/partially pre-stretched lines (e.g. Shimano Technium, Gardner GT-HD etc.) These cast well and have half decent abrasions resistance. - General angling in weedy situations go for a traditional all-rounder (ESP Synchro, Gardner Pro etc.). Cast OK, nice and strong. - Heavy weed go for a heavy line (Gardner hydroTuff, Rig Marole SLS etc.). Not so good for casting but you'd land a bus in a forest. - If you want your line on the deck go for a fluoro. Again, not great casting, but the benefits are obvious. There's no such thing as a line that will do everything perfectly (although the low stretch options are getting there). Think about what's important to you and go for the most suitable.
