--have sent you a PM
--I import Platypus and rep for several manufacturers...no direct retail sales.. I will ship to a sports shop of your choice.
--I use the line myself but always willing to try and compare with other lines so I use DAM and of course the BC standard UG .
--General advantages of the line is that it is significantly smaller diameter for the # test. This allows for less drag... important for ultralite lures and downrigger trolling,
-- The owner of Lyman lures recommends using super 100 with his wooden plugs and carries the recommended sizes on their site. A few pictures of Colin on his site with Okanagan rainbows caught his lures, my line... Will be fishing Okanagan the rainbows over 10 lbs.. this is prime season now till spring as they are near the surface for long line use of Lyman lures and bucktails is common method used.
--I'd say it will fill a niche... it is IGFA rated and can even get pre-tested line for those who require it.
--You can just click on the advert on this forum and it will direct you to the Platypus web site in Australia. Platypus manufactures their own line as well as other private label lines...
--the only line they do not make in house is the stealth fluorocarbon which is contracted to a Japanese manufacturer to Platypus specifications.

So which stores carry this paragon of fishing line-eh?!
-
--troutwaters fly&tackle and Lyman's internet sales both in kelowna.
--Paragon might be a little lofty description but it is a quality line.. I'd have to say .... those who like it, like it a lot.
--It is popular in Europe and of course Australia. For those that are into it several IGFA record fish have been caught using the lline.
--I just like dealing with a company that when you call with a question it is often the Owner who will answer. The factory is still in Australia and the family that founded it in 1898 over 100 years ago still owns and runs it.
