Same here mate I found out about from a US website where some of those blokes were ordering it on line. I entered it on the web and found a bit more about it. Apparently it's woven in NZ and it's very fine diameter. It's not cheap though they talked about $75 for 150m.

I use the Tasline 40lb barra special for my heavy BC set up and its very good quality. I will be picking up some of the thin SAS in 10lb for my Bass outfit soon. Again Very good line, the best I have used so far.

I have some 12lbs which I have just spooled up but yet to use. It is. Dry thin with a round profile which I feel aids in the knot holding. It isn't in many stores here in QLD yet but you can get it from a store at shailer park or Victoria Point bait and tackle stock it apparently. Otherwise get it online through their website (all stockists listed on here too). A 150m spool was only $45 too. It is very similar in feel to the Toray line I have, and I love the Toray.

Sounds good I might give it a go. I've nbeen a Suffix 823fan for a while and I also like Castaway apart from it being bloody expensive.
$45 is a lot cheaper than the$75 I was told about.
