Sunline Monster Battle
Mark Harris:
Have any other members had problems with the blue Sunline Monster Battle braid?
I have a spool of PE10 which snaps on the tighten when tying an FG knot :( Thought it might just be a damaged section but it isn't.
On a recent trip a friend twice had mid-air casting load explosions also with Monster Battle PE10.
And the guide on that trip mentioned he had seen several instances of this line snapping with a fish on.
Anyone else had issues? It is damned expensive line and I am wondering whether to risk the unopened spool I also have (also blue and PE10).
Tom McCafferty:
I hope its good line, I just had a reel spooled with it as well. Had one bad wind knot while fishing the other day but it was very full also got one just as bad with Avani a couple of casts later...
Can't say I've given it a good work over but I've liked using it, haven't had anything out of the ordinary happen as far as random line breakages. It looks cool on the Dogfight as well
Leo Sorbello:
Mark,
Sami I recall was endorsing this a while ago with absolute no issues at all at that time..... I was thinking of getting a few spools of PE6, 8 & 10 but had a hunch about the cost too about being expensive, so didn't get any.
I can't recall where I read it that this line had issues in hot dry areas when in use :o.
Andy Rowe:
Mark,
I have PE8 sunline on a 16k and an 18k spool, I have had no issue with FG knots, unfortunately cannot report about it with a fish on yet..
That is very unnerving news though.
Mark Harris:
Andy, I do not know what to think about this TBH.
I have had 2 private messages both of which talked of similar problems. It seems to be inconsistent though.
Tough one. Really tough. Bloody expensive line to just throw away but the problems I have had are hard to get out of my head.
