Recommend a good line

A want to fill my line up with 30-40lb nylon for fishing rough ground, I want
some thin diameter can anyone recommend a good make as the Japanese line I use
to buy is very difficult to obtain

Cheers

I use Berkley Trilene XL

Found it very good and supple.
Veals mail order sell it at £2.98 + vat for 300yrds

Hi Colin, use braid with a 12ft nylon leader, that should take care of the
"rough ground" element. I used to use Stren Magnathin but if it's abrasion your
worried about that will suffer the same problem as it's thin and susceptable to
nicks. The best line for fishing rough ground is Stren, it's thick but tough.
The other alternative is wire. Cheers, Norman.

30-40 lb isn't exactly subtle ;-)
On rough ground the usual problem is abrasion.
The secondary problem is tangling.

Thin line is susceptible to abrasion.
Limp line is susceptible to tangling.

Unless you have a particular reason for using 30-40lb bs (it's very hard to
break 30lb bs line with the rod) you might be better to rethink the problem.

Consider using the cheapest bulk line of a suitable diameter. It will be
rather stiff which reduces abrasion and you can change it more often so
you'll generally be using newer, less abraded line.


Cheerio,

If you're fishing the real rough stuff, then I can understand the need
for the 30-40 lb BS, but in my opinion there's no great benefit in
using an especially thin line (I'm assuming that you're fishing from
the shore).
You're not going to be casting any great distance, so reel capacity
isn't an issue, and any reel with the backbone to haul your end tackle
out of a tangle of kelp will hold more than enough line in that range
of BS regardless of its diameter.

Have a look at http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/authors/dave02.htm for a
review of various lines. The ones tested were 15lb BS, but I'd guess
that the comparisons still hold for the higher BS you require.
