John on the recommendation from Kev Arathoon a couple of years ago I use Daiwa Sensor. Strong as anything mate.

Berkley big game 6lb.

bayer ...... but what do i know

Trying out some Sensor at the moment but havent done much feeder fishing of late,will be on Sat got the river Avon.

John,
For most of my carp fishing on the tip I use Maxima as it's robust and has a bit of stretch. The only time I don't use it for carp fishing is when I am chucking a feeder a long way, say at Earlswood, in which case I use Daiwa matchwinner, although I am thinking of trying the Berkely Fireline for seriously long chucks.

Stu

Mate - Shimano Technium is unbeatable...

But if you want a line for a long chuck use Tubertini Gorrilla which you can buy at www.polefloats.com

maxima

lol

out and out the best multipurpse feeder and waggler line on the market. Dark, robust, durable, cheap.

Knew a girl like that once lol

Maxima is no good. Just taken my reel out of my case and the line is rotten
You'd think after 22 years away from the sunlight it would have lasted

That's nothing, don't draw near me at Barston, not for the first two hours till I get used to a rod again

My maxima was ok after it had been left on my mitchell 300 reels and the bayer perlon on the 506s was just as good after an 18 year lay off, and i used it catching carp to six pounds with it, possibly still some still on the now redundant 300s pity about all the boxes of mustad hooks that were in the same box as most were barbed 10s 6d or just over 50p for 100 those were the days.
