I've used 20lb PP as a hooklink and then PP Super Slik 8 since it became available. No damage caused to fish on about 3000 examples. However the Spiderwire of years ago did not have a smooth or soft exterior feel and I would not have used that.

In really excellent condition with original Hardy Codura tube. Collection Ross on Wye area. Not the original Hardy rod bag. £275.

Pm me with address Stephen. Put a small amount into BFW running costs. I'll get it sent next week

A 13ft rod that has lost 9 inches of the tip and had a new eye fitted. It's now 12ft 3inches of a as new Hardy that would be perfect for trotting smaller rivers or as a feeder rod ideal for chub. Roach etc. Has the rod bag. £95. Collection Nr Ross on Wye.

Interesting. Never had the heavy ones break unless they should do.

Get the enterprise ones in BFW shop.

Yes, I've had the red maggot only days. Also the roach wanting 6 white maggots on a 14 hook over all

Sounds fun. I think I would try tares over hemp although the chub love them
