It's good stuff Baw, you have to make sure your knots are well tied and lubricated when pulled tight, but like you say it's much thinner in heavier breaking strains than mono. The 3.5lb is only 0.16mm which is the same as 2lb mono, plus it's invisible in the water, I reckon it would be perfect for you bubble float fishing, drennan do one now which is around £5 a spool of 50m so it's not that expensive...

 

I use it in 6 or 8lb for live eel fishing ( for bass) and use braid as the main line it works a treat for that too..

That's for that mate. It's the colours it comes from that puts me off. I can imagine underwater it will be invisible. But the bubble float and fly fishing I do, the flies are above the water on droppers coming from the main line. The fly only touches the water at most. It's the most natural way to present a fly and the trout go daft for it. Caught pike with this method too. Line needs to be light as you can imagine so having thinner line with a bigger breaking point would be ideal. Does it come in more natural transparent colours mate?

All the stuff I use is transparent mate, I'll take a pic later and send it on

 

I'll send some up if you can't get it up there mate

No worries, the last stuff I bought was Drennan I'll check the other makes later as I'm taking Fin bassing for an hour or 2 after work... The missus will mess with the girls on the front beach and we'll sneak round to the estuary side and hopefully get some live eels for bait....
