Pete Springate's Guns Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Any users/reviews on here? Considering it in .35mm/22lb Ta👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Funny this just popped up - I've literally just bought a load of the 22 lb stuff for my braid spools. Not used it yet but it gets very good reviews mate. Tbh I'm so confident in all the Gardner lines I'd have bought it without seeing any reviews.

I’ve used braids before but not a dedicated sinking one. Be interesting to see how far the Treb lites will put it👍 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even remember what it was it's that old. Fox I think🤷♂️ Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Springate's Guns Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Impressed so far. Behaves itself on the spool, casts well and sinks👍 elmoputney and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Springate's Guns Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 An update on my experience with this stuff. Having used it for several months now on a few different waters, I’m not particularly happy with its abrasion resistance. When fishing in heavy weed, I’ve had several instances where the outer kevlar wrap has worn through and started to peel away from the inner braid. Initially I thought it might be an isolated instance but having re-spooled one reel which was badly affected, it’s happened again in two other places! Its also happened at the knot where I’ve joined it to a fluoro leader. Since all my waters are now very weedy I’ll be getting rid and returning to Mono for the time being. I’m considering the Gardner HydroTuff in .38mm if anyone has any views on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
