    Default Sci Anglers Textured Poll

    Hi Guys

    Scientific Anglers have added a few more tapers to the textured series of lines, thus enhancing a great product, at great value.

    Thanks for all the input so far.

    We kinda thought that first three would be the choice of lines, and that the magnum taper would also feature, but it is surprising to see the amount of people who are interested in the streamer express.

    If you've got 2 minutes, please would you tell us why you like that line, what application you would use it for and what line would it replace?

    Are there any prices available on these lines.

    Sorry Nicholas, we haven't updated the system as those lines have not yet been shipped from the States.

    It will be update our system once we have them in the shop.

    This poll is to try and find out what lines people believe are correct for South African conditions and what lines we should order.

    Regards
