    6pd fireline in the pink is bloody good stuff george, give it a go. Pretty sure you can get 300yard spools. Actually now i think about it, u can cause i just top shotted my 2 outfits with 150 yards each.

    I'll have a rough guess & say about 2lb difference between each.

    The lighter the fireline, the more difficult it is to manage and pick knots out of. Not a huge problem to combat but if ur new to it then it's something to look out for

    4lb breaks at almost twice that but it's quite fine and tangles easily if you forget to maintain tension. 6lb is a popular choice, any heavier is overkill unlass the flatties average a couple of kilos or more

    Big'un, the easter break will be a good opportunity for you to have a bit of a think about where your going wrong and to put in a bit effort to lift your game when you get back.

    BTW the 'shirt lifter pink' line will match your nipple rings even if it has knots in it.

    Best regards as always Andrew

    PS thanks for the glowing reference it got me the job.
