Looking for a new mono spinning line, been using Daiwa for years with no problem till this year, repeatedly breaking when tying on lures, this happened twice last year just put it down to abrasion, this is a new spool of 12lb I have put on my reel. Have been looking at Grauvell Teklon Gold, half the thickness of ordinary lines, ideal for casting Rapalas anyone any idea how good / bad this stuff is.

Donald, teklon gold has poor knot strength, few lads use it down here and although strong for diameter unless you use a grinner knot pretty poor...........they promote the stuff as super strong but then say this in their ads........ Grauvell Teklon Gold Low Diameter Line GRAUVELL TEKLON LINE Is this the future of line? Look at the Low Low Diameter! Eg: 0.35mm (normal 15lb) is 31lb in Teklon, it also is low memory! Low Stretch! Has brilliant knot strength! get some braid bud Please do not use strangulation knots e.g Bloodknotts with this type of mono, always use grinners or uni-knots, they have a much higher knot strength
