Varivas Avani GT Casting Max Power PE
Dan Colebrook:
damm! just put the casting pe8 smp on a spool last month. haha oh well. just wont buy it again! i have been out twice and used it catching kings with no probs tho.. :o ..maybe because its still new? anyways ill stear clear next time round!
Andy Rowe:
Troy, funnily enough it was on nomad when i exprienced my SMP failure and the line was brand new, nice soft line but as you note the more supple, the easier to wind knot.
I have seen PE6 Big One break on GT surface strikes as well.
The GT max PE6-10 are great lines though wind knots happen, it's part of the pros and cons.
Mark Harris:
I exploded SMP PE8 once with a high effort cast and have not used it since. Was yours a casting failure Andy?
Andy Rowe:
Mark, no a GT came from under the boat hitting the lure head on, the line popped not far from the rod tip.

Guys just one thing have any of you tested breaking strain of these lines i think you will be surprised if not dissapointed they dont break anywhere near there rated strengths i only tie a spidr hitch to attach to scales and get as far away as possible 10metres plus and over my popper rod lucky to pull drag before line breaks.Just somthing to look at .
May your fish be huge and your beers icy.
