Check his feedback, lots of people complaining the line is nowhere near the strengths stated. 80lb snapping at below 40lb etc.

it can be thicker than it says and sometimes it is flat i would just pay for the better braid unless you just want it for the boat

I bought the 30lb £4.50 for lure fishing and if it snaps at 10lb I ain't bothered I never catch owt anyway

if you but a good quality braid it can be on your reel for a few years. i know people whove had the same braid on for 4 years.

mono might only last a few weeks on your reel.

so while braid might seem expencive initially it can actually work out cheaper in the long term.

dont get into the trap of thinking of using braid for everything all the time. i carry reels with braid and mono on and only use the braid if i feel the conditions and ground suit it.

I'm with you there mate, if you work out how much you spend on mono through the winter Etc. then the £30 you might spend on Berkley Whiplash or something similar, which will last you 2 or 3 seasons. Even more as you say....
Works out cheaper... And your guaranteed the quality....
