i can tell you the photo of the clam shells they are coming in actually have lots of Chinese made flouro in them so be wary

we were looking for packaging for our fluoro and these were offered to us maybe the japanese do this and just buy their packaging from the same place but why would it come from china?

cheers

Fc rock can be had for that much and you get more line on a spool and bought locally for similar price.

You most likely use a quality rod, reel, line and lure... why try save a few extra $$ if it means losing a good fish...

i can completely understand, and agree. but whilst i was on holidays in vanuatu, i was thrown from a horse and broke my back, have struggled to find work ever since, every fortnight after all my bills are paid i have $16. and thats without putting fuel in my car. so i need to find something that isnt too expensive but half decent quality.

I use basic FCC man , only cost me around 25/30$$ for 300m spools and I've never had a problem with it

Gee, ok. I thought it was different. I hope you are all ok then. If needed, I reckon some members on here will lend you some leader.

was just looking at fc rock. seems like alot of people on here use it. i was originally ising 6lb vanish, and was thinking of going down to 4lb and seeing if that improves the strike rate, im a bit hesitant tho as where i fish there is alot of flatties.

thanks mate, everyday is different for me, depends on how i slept. some days i feel fine, others its not so good. i dont doubt there is members on here willing to help, and thats one of the great things about this forum. i have always worked for everything i have got, so asking for help doesn't come naturally to me.
