they are both top end lines , but the suffix in 19 pound is a bit thinner than the big game in 20 , so better for distance casting

Got my last spool of .35mm (19lb) in yellow from Bagnalls on Grey Street.
Not much to add to the above, it's a very good line, casts well, knots well, abrasion resistant and very strong. The only negative is it is very stretchy so if you are pulling for a break with limited room it can be a bit of a mission...

I've got the 24lb in yellow. I also got it from bagnalls on grey street.
I got it on a recommendation from my mate , but I've had nowt but bother every time I've been snagged up the line has been breaking up by the top of the rod. I think I have a bad spool as my mate has had no problems with it.
As already said it casts very well and knots very good too

The 19lb is great for cleanish beaches, and sits well on 6500 size reels.
The 24 is better suited to the 525, speedmaster size reels and is great for mixed ground using a 15lb rotton bottom system, low diamiter is great for cliff fishing.
It is nice and stretchy, just wind right down before you set the hook and the stretch will help pull the fish out the snags.
Imo of course.

if the line is breaking at the top of the rod , check that you rod guides are not cracked and causing the problem , this is top quality line and should not be doing that

I use Sufix Tritanium in 0.45 mm and 0.50mm. Excellent line with breaking strain usually slightly higher than stated and excellent abrasion resistance.
But I must admit the only problem I have had is that sometimes if am am snagged I have to pull like crazy to get a break it is so strong. As Stewart said it is stretchy so you need room to pull and I sometimes get the break at my hand or close to the rod. I think I know why this is happening. If you are using pulley rigs or similar without rotten bottoms then the main line and hook snood can be 60 lb breaking strain so the weak link is the main line itself and with the high abrasion resistance it has no weak points so the weak point can be where you are holding it (or where it touches the pier wall :-( ) when you are pulling for a break. This seems to happen most with new line which backs up the high abrasion resistance theory.
If I am using flappers or clipped down rigs then the rig breaking strains are usually lower often with the hook snoods parting or the hooks straightening when you pull for a break.

if you use a heavier shock leader it should snap at the knot joining leader to main line , thus stopping it snapping near the rod
