Float and Feeder line opinions please have tried a few not entirely happy with what I used before. New reels need spooling lines between 3lb to 5lb all opinions greatly excepted.

Having tried all the high tech lines as a mainline for float and feeder fishing I ended up going back to tried and tested options. For feeder fishing I use daiwa sensor up the 6lb and have found it to be better than many of the more expensive options.
It's cheap enough on a bulk spool so that its no great loss to respool whenever needed. Another option is pro gold, a bit more pricey but very good especially in the higher breaking strains as sensor gets a bit springy above 6Lb.
For float fishing I have gone back to Maxima, very reliable and withstands the sliding of shot up and down the line when fine tuning your setup, got fed up with other lines ending up pigtailed when moving shot around.
Obviously line is a personal preference thing as Rhys is not a fan of sensor.
Preston reflo powerline for hook lengths everytime though.
