This fishing line I ordered for bead stringing, I'm looking for cheaper alternatives to Fireline. My review therefore is not intended for anglers but to hobbyists! The Fädeleigenschaften are similar with Fireline, however, seems to me the cord a little less tightly braided and riffles is when threading the eye of the needle even more. Due to the somewhat greater thickness it does not fit through the eye of my Sharps size 15, but by my other Fädelnadeln it goes through. So far I have the cord still subjected to extreme stability testing, but I'll call you if it tears me somewhere. :)
