Bad batch of Finns ?

Just spoke to the distributers about the problem.
Apparently... There was a batch of Finns sent to Australia that was meant for the European market (different formula )
They have taken it off the shelves and are waiting for a new batch to arrive next week. It has always been great stuff, and the 50lb I am using at the moment would pull a truck over sideways!! No questions asked replacment for the bad batch. Anyone having probs should return as much of the bad stuff as they have left to thier tackle shop

A guy i met the other week works in a Tackle shop on the gold coast . He said when they get a carton of braid in the manufacturer always throws in a dozen spare spools to replace any that are falty. Makes you think doesn't it???

Hi Guys,

Try using Platil Millennium, outfishes both Power Pro & Fins and much stronger for its diameter.

That is the only line used on my boat, both deckies & me , I have 3 different sets of gear with it on, 30-80 lb.
Have found it to be really good, except one time, half way through winding on a 600mtr spool of 80lb was the biggest dag in the line, sent it back & no probs since.

Platil Millennium or spidrwire best braids I've used for casting,in that order.
whiplash- What a load of rubbish, had two spools both would break when casting out let alone being hit by fish never to be on my reels again .

The normal finns is really soft and supple, the suspect batch felt more like fireline.

Told a mate about suspect finns and he checked his 50lb stuff it broke consistantly at 20lbs in middle not at the knots he's taking it back to shop >

i'd say it;s because the conditions are so different that different characteristics are built into the line, like resilience to high tempretures and baking uv wouldn;t be high for english braid, and the abilty to resist sub zero temps etc, i could be wrong though.
