whats up with coiled shocklines

[relaxnliv34]

first i would like to say im new to guns. has anyone used a coiled shockline? they seem like if they live up to their purpose they would be way better than ur standard shockline? do they have the same strength? the plastic material looks like it would be useless under some pull. i wanted to know because if anyone would recommend it i think id switch to using them? also, r u supposed to use them with other line too? ive read some reviews where people talked about both. well, thanks a lot if anyone could help

a piece of mono correctly rigged will be better and cheaper and less tangly. I have seen these curlies on shorter pneumatics used for hunting smaller fish only.

Yeah, but you can use the cord to dial home if your cell breaks

The coiled line is great while loading a gun.
It isn't so great when you shoot it. The coils introduce a great deal of drag when the shaft is flying forward, decreasing penetration and range.
