awesome boys, thought it was a bit of a waste to bin it as it costs a packet!! As Mark said its pritty cool having the pe5 at 80lb, thats why i like it on the jigging spools as ya get alot on the 16000 spool. just dont spool it on the 8000 spool, comes up real short  :)

Hi Andy when i was thinking of spooling up dogfight i talked to the nomad guys and they had used that line but it was really bad for wind knots casting all day they put me onto the avanti gt still get the occasional knot .The other thing i noticed was the low breaking strength of the varivas pe 8 i was lucky to get 18kgs over scales and it never broke at the knot send spool back and they  reckoned it broke at 37kgs dont know how the japanese test these things very exe equipment i guess am using pe 10 now dont know if this helps or hinders .

Mark Harris:
Just for the record, I use Varivas Avani GT Max Power for all my GT fishing.  This is in my view, the single best line you will find for GT casting purposes.  The only exception would be when I can't get it for some reason and then it is JB Solid or Tufline XP.

I do use Big One sometimes when I feel extra spool capacity could be an issue - eg Tuna casting - and as I have it anyway as Jigging line, I don't need to buy anything extra for the very odd occasion when I do go Tuna casting.

troy roberts:
Sorry guys it was the smp they told me to steer clear of .

Mark Harris:
I think many would give you that advice Troy - it is very sound.
