Product review - Stream rig and hooklength line.



So here we have my current choice for all my hooklengths at present, this line comes in 50m spools at an approximate cost of £4.99 in the shops.

It does have some very interesting breaking strain statistics, as in the picture the 0.165mm has a breaking strain of over 4kg (8.9lb)

0.064mm - 0.62kg - 1.3lb
0.070mm - 0.77kg - 1.7lb
0.080mm - 0.94kg - 2.1lb
0.090mm - 1.10kg - 2.4lb
0.103mm - 1.49kg - 3.3lb
0.115mm - 1.90kg - 4.2lb
0.125mm - 2.39kg - 5.2lb
0.145mm - 2.95kg - 6.5lb
0.165mm - 4.05kg - 8.9lb
0.185mm - 5.40kg - 11.9lb
0.200mm - 6.80kg - 14.9lb

Colmic have advertised that these are real diameters and breaking strains and verified by testing, Im always a little skeptical with such high figures on low diameter lines, but what i will say is Im using the 0.125mm for all my carp fishing at the moment and have been since November without any issue.

I have no problem in saying this is great hooklength material, although expensive if you want to go down the rig making side of things with it. The 0.20mm looks awesome for summer conditions with heavy duty carp fishing in the edges or 200lb+ weight venues. The spools are quite small making them easy to store in your seatbox, so are quite user friendly when storing.
