On paper it is, but id take the dia listed on the spool with a pinch of salt
Main benifits, it casts much better off a FS than mono esp as strengths increase, and it has zero stretch, compared with loads of stretch in mono.

It also has downsides, it floats, you get wind knots, it can be a right pain in waves as will nod the rod tip constantly if bottom fishing....and can also constantly trip the lead if you dont have a soft tip on your rod.

So good for lure fishing, and heavy shore fishing....although its abrasion resistance is poor....so watch out for rocks

[QUOTE="Si-fly, post: 333492, member: 553"] On paper it is, but id take the dia listed on the spool with a pinch of salt 😆 Main benifits, it casts much better off a FS than mono esp as strengths increase, and it has zero stretch, compared with loads of stretch in mono. It also has downsides, it floats, you get wind knots, it can be a right pain in waves as will nod the rod tip constantly if bottom fishing....and can also constantly trip the lead if you dont have a soft tip on your rod. So good for lure fishing, and heavy shore fishing....although its abrasion resistance is poor....so watch out for rocks 👍 [/QUOTE]
