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.... Hyper sensor is a "casting line" therefore thinner diameter.

Would it be a decent line to use ?, was toying of the Hyper Sensor in Gunmetal 15lb. No massive casts, it's on sale £9 a spool....no snag fishing, just margins and open water.

Had Daiwa Sensor Brown in 8,12,15 Sensor Clear is NOT as good as the Brown. It doesn't knot as tidily, and seems stiffer.

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. I used Daiwa Sensor for years, until Richard Gardner sent me a spool of Gardner Pro to test and review. The result is that Gardner Pro is my go-to line now in monofilament. I have compared Pro Light mono to fluorocarbon, and believe it or not it is as difficult to see in the water as fluorocarbon. Quite possibly it would make an alternative! The only possible difference is the 'lay flat' weight as mono is not as heavy, but does take on water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 i'm liking the gardner line i'm using it's the HD one, very good casting line pretty beefy too, i like to use the local shops when i can, none seem to have the hydro tuff in stock, the fox illusion is a good line casts well bit stingy on spool size though. yeah i'm still up, should be making sarnies right about now!

Out of all the lines I've used, the gardener gt-hd line has given me endless headaches. I used to get the odd line frap on a cast with other lines but this line I got them endlessly. I even started to doubt myself regarding how I spooled it up so even watched a YouTube video of Lewis read loading it up to make sure I wasn't being a complete noddy. Suffice to say I had spooled it correct but the line fraps kept coming. I changed lines and no more fraps. God knows what was wrong or happening.

Just looked at the difference between the Sonik Subsonik ear and Sonik Ultrasonik Clear, both in 18lb...only difference I have found is....nothing, both same diameter, both say EXACTLY same on spools, but it looks liken you get more line on the Subsonik version.

I would try using wrap sticks and just stretch it out a bit using them also wet it first may help 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked them out on the banknlast week, then reeled in...Still curly, mate suggested tying to a pole or summat n stretch it...i always wet my line. Think might end up back on the Gardner GTHD...had a browse at lines earlier... It's 1 of them things now that's starting to annoy me that can't get quite right... I've got 1 spool on its way in the post now, we'll see him this goes on, casts and stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) The lines dry get some sweat bands and soak the line before you go the curls will drop right out it’s just memory Edited July 14, 2022 by framey ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
