I have no link unfortunately and a short search has revealed nothing.

I saw some coiled mono shooting lines of various lengths/strengths

I thought they might work well so I will probably try one if I can find them again. At the same time I am pictureing my telephone cable which is a mess.

Does anyone have views/experience with these???

Thanks
Jim
 
Coily shooting lines seem to be only made for lazy people.
There is no real benefit apart from speed of reloading.
I have seen a few advertised but they are usually for pneumatics, and the added drag is a big negative.
You can make your own very easily by getting a length of broom handle drilling a hole in each end that is large enough to stick the line through, coiling down the length of the handle and pushing the line through the end hole, boil the thing for 15 minutes and remove from the pot and immerse in ice water for 10 minutes.
Thats it.
