Yeah love it. Would spool it on more reels but the cost stops me. Ive noticed my casting distance has improved with using this braid. Im using the 10lb which isnt the thinnest but still good.

Who stocks it? I've seen it on frogleys website but I haven't seen it in any online stores.

Fishin.com does mate. I've used it for a few years now and it's pretty good stuff. It won't keep the bright multi coloured look for long but is a very good braid.

I've got some 6lb unitika silver thread am also very impressed with unitika, really thin very strong and smooth, got it second hand frm Dylman was a good purchase for $15

I've been using the 8lb and 14lb. As good as Castaway I recon.

I am going to have to disagree with you guys, I have been using Unitika night game and silver thread braids over the past 6 months and found them to have serious issues. The line itself is thin and cast well. The colour fades dramatically after only a few sessions on the water, however my biggest concern is that the line tends to 'unbraid' itself around your knots. Its almost like the outer layers of the braid strip away leaving only a thin core. It actually cost me a very good fish on the weekend, it was the final straw for me and I am removing the braid from all my reels.

I've never used aorika, but I never will having experience the same issue with two of Unitika's other braids.

Just thought you would like to hear a different point of view.

Cheers

Im not really fussed with colour fade thats gonna happen when you fish in didty discoloured waters like the yarra etc I have noticed a very slight bit of this unthreading you speak of gagga but my sliver thread is pe 0.5 and I can still get a good knot

even palming the spool yesterday on a 33 fork in very tight structure my knot was fine the only thing I was worried about was my leader hitting structure. The line casts awesome and overall is as good as castaway.

Have been running 10lb Unitika Aorika II on my reels for almost 2 years and haven't even reversed it yet!

Super smooth, casts a mile, ties great knots.

same here, go the white tho not the multi colour, easier to see and wont fade.
the best line ive ever used.

Cheers guys much appreciate all the info rough
Idea on price on the 8 lb

[redfinfisho]

Alot of places have it for $70 its hard to find in aus for cheaper quite expensive but a good line I see most of the high end PE being similar toray, unitika suline cast away all great all similar in quality and performance.
