Tangles easily ? yes and not good in rocky stuff as its not as tough as mono, £30 of line might only do one trip if it gets scuffed about. Its good on clean beaches.

Blimey - £30 a trip sounds a bit steep. Think I'll stick to mono.

OK Keith - you've convinced me enough to risk £30.

80lb sounds hell of a lot though!

I generally use 30lb line on my reel as don't use shock leader. My new multiplier came pre-loaded with 20lb line do you think that i will need to use shock with this

If you use anymore than a 3oz weight then most certainly. 10lb of shockleader for every oz of weight so 5oz weight requires a 50lb shock leader. Hope this helps. keith big grin
