What are the pro's & cons with fishing with copolymer as apposed to mono, fluoro or braid from the shore and what purposes would you use it for i.e. spinning?
Hey Pugs. I have just been using the GREYSLINE co-polymer, which I bought in an Essex shop for about a tenner fo 800 odd yads. Its 15lb B.S., but only 0.32 diameter, so it really does make a difference to the casting. I was worried that it would get beaten up too quickly, as I am fishing a lot, but, apart from one unexpected snap which of course was when I was attached to a decent fish (Thornback) I have found it quite excellent. And that snap could have happened to any line, as I had been fishing across shingle bas the trip before. So, I would recommend it, on the multiplier. On the fixed-spool, or for close work, I would go Braid every time, but always with a 35 foot leader of nylon.
