hi geoff,
which shops did u get ur braid from?? My guess would be u got the tuf line from sabre or joe's tackle. Yeah the thing abt sg tackle shops is they are all close to each other. The good thing abt it is it creates lower pricing for singaporeans. The fishing market isn't like here where there are more fishos than tackle shops. As for prices of tackle, i am surprised that u found them on par with tackle sold here. maybe i dun know any gd tackle stores here which gives me gd discounts. I do get significantly gd prices when i go back to singapore. The best deals to me would be the price of fireline in sg with the price almost half of what we pay here.
regards
