Anyone tried this stuff?
I was out last year with a mate who was using it. He was receiving loads more offers from trout than me even though we were fishing the same method, flies and similar leader breaking strain. Of course I can think of quite a few more competence based reasons for this :)
He gave me a few feet to try and it felt nice and supple and has a decent diameter. It comes with the usual manufacturer claims, 20% stronger etc.
Also comes with a fair old price tag.

Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.

Haven't used it myself but a guy I know uses it and likes it.
I'll let you trial it first Mac :8)

I use it sometimes. I buy the 12ft tapered leaders and put a ring on the end. I then buy a spool of 3lb and  5lb then use that all season. Works fine.
