“As always the order of barbless hooks and Grand Max line was despatched and arrived in a timely fashion. I cannot comment on the hooking ability of said items which I needed for an England Heat event as I have not had the opportunity to use them yet but I know Grand Max is my preferred line for Competition work.”
