Advice Main line

I bought some Varivas Sport (I think it was?) in 30lb and the stated diameter is .47 but it looked bloody thin to me.

Which wasn’t exactly it’s purpose as I wanted a thicker line to help with abrasion in the rough stuff.

That said, used it last weekend and it bloody flew, shocked myself with the first couple of casts lol.
Otherwise it seemed quite a nice supple line, much better than the Asso Classic I had on there before.

So might be worth a look in the lower diameters?
 
Gardner line is def worth a look at and very underrated. Their slinky shock and rig body also very good never had any probs with it a lot of people overlook it but like their carp gear it’s top stuff.
