Ive used Sensor for as long as i can remember its never let me down and its no financial hardship to respool my reels twice a year if necessary

Old Skool Maxima lover, can't find it anymore. Using Fox Warrior on a couple of reels, Berkley Big Game on another couple and undecided what to spool up my new reels with - but probably gonna go with Sensor as it seems to be popluar, and I like to be in with the " in crowd " lol

Stick with your diawa sensor there's nowt wrong with it i have used it for years now i have tried other lines but i have always gone back to sensor and it's as cheap as chips and it's a quality line as many of the top anglers will testify .

depends if you fish at range much or not mate i like to whip a lead so i dont get along with it although i use it as a shockleader, my mate has got sensor on his though and i have to say its a pure bargain for somebody who doesnt fish long range.
