to go with 0.55mm then 50lbs

Whiplash if your dad's got the budget (will cost yvou around R1200 for 550m)

HMP, Gator or Jerry Brown all tested and found adequate. If you're interested in Jerry Brown drop me a PM and I'll give you the prices.

whiplash here is a bit much but i have saved up some money and my dad will be getting the braid overseas.

is bully braid any good???

Whiplash is by miles thinner than anything else around with the exception of Kinfisher Pro (? I think) which allows you to spool a good couple of hundred metres on a reel.

BTW if your dad posts it to you getting him to call it fishing tackle where you will only be stung VAT at worst. String for some reason has it's own category and attracts a 40% dut as I found on some Crystal Whiplash I brought in once.
