wow, great deal Kaveman - I can only see the 'premium' one, so I presume you snapped up the only Elite on offer. Nice work.

That's what they claim, and assuming that it's made from the same basic stuff as other braids puts it in the ball park for it's diameter. .2mm is almost exactly twice the cross sectional area compared to .14mm and the 10lb stren breaks at 28lb.

OWT,  stren microfuse is heat treated hence the title "fused", heat treatment supposedly adds to the breaking strain when treated this way. Fused braids feel quite coarse compared to woven braids and the Tasline i have is silky smooth. It be be interesting to see how it fares in longevity as my Microfuse i have on my Stella 4000 would be 4 yrs old and still perfect condition.
I do have 20lb and 30lb Tasline All white series on my inchiku and slow pitch reels as well and that is approx 2yrs old with no problems what so ever
Will keep you posted

Hey Lester did you end up trying the Elite from Busted, Aussie dollar is only $1.05 at the moment...

I put the 8lb Elite white on my Caldia 3000 as well, (one of the 2 spools) but only 150m with a bit of mono backing. My concern was having the spool too full as that really thin line is quite susceptible to wind knots anyway, so a overfilled spool may exacerbate the wind knots.

Thanks for that, BigManly and Kaveman - very good intel.

Keep your old line spools, wind it off onto one with a cordless drill, then another, then back onto your reel
