Hey Dicey
do you get many birds nest knots with the crystal?
also
does it have much memory because i know regular fireline is quite stiff?

I quite like the line it is
I quite like the line it is abit stiff but i like it, not much wind knots not pronounced blowing "wind" but winding "wind"cause i dont spool it to the lip which is the main cause of the knotting because over use of the line will start to build up twist in the line which eventually bunches up when using different weight lures causing it to knot, another way is when you do not hold the line tight when you first cast out and go to retrieve the lure the chance of the line getting caught up above the spool lip causing also the wind knot.

Hey mate 6lb is the lightest
Hey mate
6lb is the lightest they make in that sunline
I would recomend trying out daiwa TD sensor in 4lb, its great line, round, strong and it holds its colour
i have had some on my bream outfits for nearly 3 years and it still fine

Cheers Luke
TD sensor is looking like the best option
3 years is a long time especially because you braid has been tested by some big bream.
Approximately How much is For 150 yards/metres?
Around $70?

hey duffman
i changed to the fins 6lb its not the most expensive braid about the same price as sunline $45 but for me its so much better i dont use high vis lines because i like using short leaders and the pe stuff is so thin next time i might go for a higher lb jmo.Ive got a new spool of pe used once you can have for $20 if your keen to try it.cheers brg

Sunline Super PE
Yeh as Luke mentioned 6lb is the lightest.
Another great alternative is the Gosen Egi PE is #0.6. Its 8ply and very thin (thinner than 4lb Fins braid), max BS of 10lb!! Although its orange with black markers at every 5m its great for detecting small hits with the line floating on the surface, hits that you dont normally feel with the rod.
Comes in 120m spools. Its also great for squidding shorebased funnily...

I run this line and rate it
I run this line and rate it highly , very thin stuff that casts well. Much better than super pe and is definately worth the extra cash.
The only negative thing i can comment on is that it doesnt have very good abrasion resistance
