I steer clear of anything Guru these days, I paid the price with their line (Dragline?) so I give 'em a wide berth now.
And...
I dislike orange!
Mmm.....yea I know what you mean, I've had no dramas with their hooks as I've found these to be quite good to be fair but the line I've also heard of a few problems,
I've noticed that the line must be pre stretched because they state quite a low diameter for the said breaking strain,
Most lines actually break way above their stated strain probably as a safety margin barrier so to speak but the guru line I'm not so sure on like their 3lb line I think is about 0.10 mm, most other 3 lb lines are about 0.15-16 mm.
An average 2 lb line is about 0.10 mm
A pre stretched line of say 0.10 is probably more likely to break out at the more normal 2 lb mark rather than 3 lb
This might be the problem with some of the lines of today,
Incidentally the Tackle box of Dartford local to me has a page on their website under useful information which gives a whole list of modern lines with the stated strain and diameter but the staff of the box have tested all of these lines with high quality scales and also with the use of a digital micrometer for the diameter,
The tackle box have done this as a very good quide to what is often stated by various manufacturers to what is actually been tested by the staff at the box and with proper high quality equipment to give more of a true reading.
I'll see if I can find the page, screen shot and put a pic up for all to see in me profile album ASAP :thumbs:
