The Basix Main Line is a brilliant all-round line that offers fantastic value for money, with a very high level of performance. It is very abrasion resistant and tough, but also casts very well and has good knot strength. It has a relatively low level of stretch, which helps when it comes to feeling the lead down. This line is ‘camo green’ in colour, which means that it blends in very well with any lake bed. There is a choice of 12lb or 15lb breaking strains, which will cover most carp fishing situations, and it comes supplied on either 500m or 1,000m spools – so that if you have smaller capacity reels, or only use two, then there is no need to buy a larger spool than you actually need to fill them.
