Dicky123 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I found the Gardner Pro line in 12lb its really strong and round, good quality, cheap. Its ok buying a cheap in, but most don't spool all that well, and come off in coils despite how hard you try. I found this even good for my floater fishing, its seems the carp find the green colour hard to detect? Its worth also running a decent amount of line off in the park, and winding it back on through your finger and thumb. Long grass is perfect as it works out all the coils. 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daiwa Sensor in Clear 15lb is looking like it.....Tackle Box line Test to shows it standing above the rest, also used it a few years ago.

snowmanstevo Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 It’s the law to have new line on new reels 😉🤣🤣 Sensor Brown for me tbh.

I seem to recall it was very visible in the water, and I didn't really like it, depends what you want from a line really, if you want abrasion resistance and good sinking line hydrotuff, I haven't respooled yet but have got a spool of gt80+ to try as apparently it's better than hydrotuff 😬 I wouldn't use anything other than Gardner now as it just never let's me down, reliable and strong and it lasts pretty well too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re going down the non-fluorocarbon route then Gardner Pro or Daiwa Brown are the go to for me . Too many good reviews to look elsewhere, nearly everything has a dodgy review if you look hard enough for it but those 2 not so much. commonly and elmoputney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Just been to local Go Outdoors / Fishing Republic.... No Daiwa Sensor in Clear.... Had Daiwa Sensor Brown in 8,12,15. Daiwa Hyper Sensor in 5,6,8,12,15. Daiwa Hyper Sensor Gun Metal in 5,6,8,12,15 It was a weird 1 as the 2 hyper Sensor in 15lb was 0.31mm but brown 15lb was 0.37mm....
