whitefinger Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Anyone else had problems with this stuff.I had the 15lb hybrid and lost 2 very good fish to it snapping at the figure of eight knot. I talked to them at Korda and they said that they had taken the 15lb off the market and replaced it with the 20lb. I was told not to steam the knots but to straighten the line in hot water. Guess what, the fish I had been after for the last few months snapped me at the knot again. Anyone got a better idea Kik-bak maybe Yes and no... ive had a bad spool that kept snapping at the over hand loop, well i phone korda they said only pull the knot tight over steam. the new spool ive got at the mo, is fab, no problems at all. yet again my mate took x2 spools to france this summer, he made about 20 rigs pre tied before he got there, and lost 2 decent fish due to it snapping an inch under the over hand loop. the rest of the spools got slung in the bin. i think there is a major problem with this stuff and defo wont be buying any more does the pallatrax stuff steam as stiff as the hybriad??

neilscatchin Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The Steamlink from Pallatrax is imo stiffer than the hybrid once steamed,makes awesome combi rigs and it doesn't snap !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
