I looked at this as an option and was told that they had problems with batches of it being returned due to poor strength - ie QC was not up to scratch.  Note I didn't test any so that is based on second hand information from a mate that works in a tackle store.

Tested the line today on a set of scales and broke at 34kg broke half way up a 2m lenght of the braid should it be breaking at that or should it be more i pulled on it slow and thats all i could get 100lb line breaking closer to 80lb?

Why don't you send some samples to this guy? Not sure if his hw extends to PE10 though!

I have sent a number of line samples (braid and mono) to Paul. He provides a great free service and is happy to give lots of advice too. I also purchased his bimini twist tool which forms fabulous short biminis, but best used for PE 6 and less. A longer tool is needed for the heavier line classes. Matt
