Carp fishing Fluorocarbon mainline

Maxima mate -

Not a lot of people know this either but it's also a low stretch, very responsive line as well..
Lower stretch = lower 'snap resistance'. That's not opinion, that's physics, mate.
N.b.. relatively expensive lines do not last on the market if they don't command/merit their cost. Seaguar Soft plus, formally known and sold for years as Grand Max Soft plus, has stood the test of time. If it wasn't so good, it wouldn't be still on the market. It's 'horses for courses' IMO (and yes, some people swear by, and reckon that, their Austin Allegro was the best car they ever owned 🤣)
 
It's low-ish stretch mate, although not marketed as such..

You aint gonna sell me on fluoro mate sorry, nobody will ever again - I don't trust it and will never go there!
