Guideline Compline. It's my understanding this flat beam mono intermediate is the same as the Sawada flat beam?
Hard to find in Canada...
If I only had to choose one it would be the 50lb Sawada. However I'm' glad I don't have to because stuff like Rio Powerflex and Guideline TSL rocks in some situations. The worst for me has been the Ridge lines. They don't last and tangle super easily on the first stripping guide. I hate that stuff nowadays.
Same for me, although a pal of mine uses the "Extreme" ridge which he says is a bit stiffer & handles better when it's warm.Airflo Ridge in cold weather,,,,, less tangles and does not retain memory.
RIO Powerflex in warmer temps,,,, very slick and smooth distance.
