Gardner Hydro Tuff or Rigmarole SLS Specimen Tough

[crusian]

Hi Fellas 

I need to use a heavier line , but which to choose please ( I've got bulk spools of both ) ? .

Gardner 15lb 0.38mm

or

Rigmarole 18lb 0.37mm

I don't catch many , so I don't want my line to snap again like the Gardner Hydro Tuff 12lb 0.35mm in Brown .

Ta .

I haven't used the rigmarole but can't praise 15lb hydrotuff enough tbh, it's never let me down, I've hooked into some pretty robust pads and snags and given it full load and always got my rig back, fish wise I've not worried about it yet,once wet its a lovely line to use sinks nicely, perfect for me

Both are excellent. The hydro in 15 can cope with a hell of a lot and the specimon in 18 is nigh on invincible.

Thanks Elmo and Yonny 

I think I'll start of with the Rigmarole until I've used it all up as I understand it's no longer being made ; then I'll go onto the Hydro.
