Thanks all
I agree that it could be misleading but i have no interest in misleading anyone. My knots are always tied with care and with good technique, never had a knot fail on me.
I ordered some tortue online so waiting on it to be delivered. I wanted to go sharking last night but i only had half a reel of 50lb lo stretch left after all my snap offs. I went to kmart because i remembered seeing this cheap line and thought i would try it someday so took a punt and put 300m of 50lb jarvis walker hercules over the top of the 200m of lo stretch.
No sharks but hooked up to a big ray within the first 20 mins. My 26kg alvey rod was bent in half, the lo stretch would have snapped under these conditions. The cheap $7 kmart line would not break. This stuff is tough as rope, looks good in high vis yellow.
It is night and day difference fishing with true 50lb strong mainline compared with fragile lo stretch.
Went home without losing any tackle for the first time in ages.
I agree that line can snap for many reasons but 50lb line shouldnt snap so easy.
Platy lo stretch, never again.
Kind of regret ordering the tortue because this $7 line seems to be more than enough for the little sharks i play with.
