Fireline Ultra 8 line diameter?
Fireline Ultra 8 line diameter?
I was thinking of picking up a spool of 8 lb. test (orange or flame green) from across the pond until I realized the big difference in line diameter. Why such a difference from USDM? Also, why aren’t those line colors available here?

I have no idea, but it's very frustrating!

Because the rest of the world used silk thread diameter measurement while the US just uses whatever...
slip bobbing is the laziest way to fish
