Great stuff!
Great stuff, use it myself anywhere I can.
Its stonger per crossectional area than varivas and about 1/3 of the price.
Some brands bang on about how thin they are, but they just make up their numbers, ie; whiplash. Read this site to get an idea of how it shapes up;

Edit: Crasny1: thats so youc an count how far down you are, say if the fish are 50m off the bottom you just check your line angle and let line out accordingly.
