Hi Toby
You are right in thinking that it is part of the Pure Fishing Group, along with ABU, Berkley, Stren and Mitchell
The lines are OKish. I had one on trial last year and found it had a fair bit of memory to it though. Casted OK and it seems to have lasted some punishing tests without cracking

Ditto bluto and grommit. 'Twas the first fly line I ever bought. Never bought another. They aren't very slick either and the coating on mine cracked after 1 season. (turning it into a sinking head).  Mike |

recived the line today and on the box it says it wasmade in the us.
Who makes lines in the us.
Also there did not seem to be much memory in the line.
The line is a sink tip wf5.
