line always buy best
same as hooks and all rig bits what generally goes for tackle is if its cheaper its normally heavier ie bivvies brolly chairs etc

Got to agree with you
there are some things that you just don't cut corners on
but it's always worth shopping around as I did on my line recently saving 75% by buying from a know car boot trader the same stuff as I would from a big trader

As a disabled angler I am always researching stuff re weight if it's too heavy it's no good to me
but if it's weak likewise it's no good.
