chris Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I need some new main line and fancy a change from the line I've been using. Seen good reports on both the Gardner GT-HD and Pro Light Blend, specs on the Gardner site seem pretty similar but GT-HD is nearly twice the price of the Pro. Any users of either or both that could offer some advice or recommendation please - is the GT-HD worth the extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Get the pro light blend. It's a fantastic line and makes spending twice the amount totally pointless, in my opinion. Edited May 22, 2016 by dalthegooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I concur , cheap as chips low diameter sinks well if required , can't go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Gardner Pro, works for me. Far superior to most more expensive lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 After Nick's sterling review, Ive been using Pro in Dark and Light Blend ever since, excellent line for the money. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smufter Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I went over to Shimano Technium Black a few years ago and will never use anything else. A bit more expensive than others, but it's performance makes it worth it. Spools up well, sinks well, and is as tough as old boots. I have my "everyday" spools loaded with 12lb, and my spare spools loaded with 15 if I'm fishing snaggier waters or fishing in France where theoretically I am going to come into contact with bigger lumps. carpmachine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 For general angling I've been using the Pro Dark. However, my mate just spooled up with GT-HD and I have to say it's even better. It's more supple than the Pro and has a lovely finish to it that casts brilliantly. It's possibly the best looking line I've seen. I've just bought some of the new Rig Marole SLS to try. If I don't get on with it I'll be moving to the GT-HD without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdevon Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Still using the original GT-80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekskii Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Have been using the HD this year. Very supple, a dream to cast and sinks well (even though I sit there cursing it as I switched from fluoro and its obviously slower than that). I'm using in 15lb and cant fault it. Spool it up properly (as gardner instructions) and it wont be coiled or twisted at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
