Daiwa Tournament Monofil - Sea Fishing Line

[Fishing Forum Admin]

Daiwa Tournament Monofil - I have been using this fishing line for about 6 months and have found it such a great line for shore fishing

I have been using the 15lb / 0.35mm yellow and find it is great for casting and has a very low memory on both my fixed spool and multi reels

If you have been using cheaper line and make the switch you will notice the difference

Not much else I can say as it is only line but to me its worth paying the bit extra for a good quality line ( it retails for £9.00 +/- ) for 1000m

Quality 4/5
Price 3/5
Knot holding 4/5
Would I recommend It - Yes

I agree. I use it on 2 of my fixed spools and 1 of my multipliers. Does a really nice job!

So I second your comments.

I agree,
Have been using it a lot now because of Bristol Channel rough ground i use 20lb. Good knot strength etc.
A bit pricey but worth the extra pennies!

So I would reccommend it.

One line I would also reccommend is Victor Veals mail order , i only use it for my shock leaders, in 60/80lbs its nice and supple, does not go heywire when on your spool and is very strong. Showed some to Simon 4 Rods at Brixham I think he liked it.

sounds quite cheapo to me, often see alot more expencive 1s than that
i ususaly use cheapest i can find which at the mo is fladen stuff which i brought in whitby for 75p for 500m so cant complain about the price and the line is fine, also use it for rig tying as well some times

Ben, what B/S is it?

I never use less than 80lb Suffix for rig-tying for beach-casting; would be different if fishing with a carp rod, of course.

I think it's good line - but it is a little on the dear-side for "cooking" line. It's a nice colour (I like a bright one), and a bit more supple than something like "Red Ice", which I use quite a bit too. I'd definitely use it if I was doing any "serious" casting (perish the thought!).

So, I too, concur with your review. Cheers Richard.

i usualy use memorex line upto 50lb for the main rig body n down to 12lb for hook lentghs

[Old Smoothound]

For my rigs bodies I use nothing but TUFF STUFF as it is a lot more supple than Suffix and..... it knots very well. I usually use nothing less than 80lb.
But when I am casting 180 yards or more...... I usually wake up cos I dreamt it all!

Or I might go down to 60lb if needed for flattie bashing. Its not a bad price either circa 3.99 for a spool. Lasts ages.
