Craig

some seem to hold plain old mono in high regard as good backing too - just a thought!

Craig, have a look at the fishtec WWW site,

500 yds of 20lb Orange micro poly at £14.99, I've used it for a while without trouble, check postage costs first, it may work out expensive for just 1 item.

Regards V..

I'm not fond of mono as backing,I like my backing to be memory free,and not bed in.
