Gardner Hydro Tuff

[crusian]

Hello Everyone 

I usually buy Gardner Hydro Tuff as my mainline as I fish close to snags ,short to medium distance .

Are there any other lines I should be considering please ? .

Nope 😄

Been using the HD for a couple of years having also used Hydro Tuff, both seem good to me.

no not really gt80+ is good but I think I'm going back to hydrotuff next time I spool up.

When I said that I meant it, what I actually bought was 28lb BS Katran wild carp camo😱

I used this 21lb before and quite liked it but I think in 0.43mm thickness it should be pretty tough and still cast OK.

I fish a very snaggy venue that has all manor of junk on the bottom, so after good advice i went onto Hydro tuff and never looked back, does just what it claims

Yeah it's good stuff I've used it before, I've also used katran though and just fancied giving the heavy stuff a go. I remembered how cool it looked on my reels 😱 😂

That’s just reel porn … I’m surprised the mods let you get away with it
