Has anybody use or heard much of this new line?
Am looking to replace some SMP PE8.

Sunline is a premium PE line from Japan , Yoichi Mogi is one of the tester . In my opinion , it's as good as Varivas brand .

Hey Voltzy,

we are waiting to recieve some to test out. Hopefully should have some in the next few weeks.
I am expecting it to be every bit as good as Varivas coming from a manufacturer like Sunline.

Anyone had a chance to try this yet??

Might get some for some up coming trips. I noticed it's slightly more expensive (per 300m) than Varivas Avani GT, which I don't mind paying, but only if the quality is good.

I'll get Duncan to post up his thoughts on it after the week in CXI he had lately.
I'll also be using it out at Elusive in a weeks time so i'll be able to expand a little.

So far i have nothing but praise for it for the few local sessions ive used it.

Cheers

Tom, do you notice much difference between the standard Castaway and the Monster Battle, I thought the Castaway was quite thick.

Monster Battle is much smoother than standard castaway. It feels almost identicle to the Avani GT in a lot of aspects.
I havnt had the two side by side to compare the thickness but i would say they are almost the same
