Hi Baz,
Lacky is very much like line and a personal thing.
It's not just a case of Hydro or "Normal" as IMHO there is no such thing as normal lacky.
Every make is a little bit different to another as one make will stretch more than another.
Then you have the Latex and now the Dual cone as well.
It's a case of trying them out and finding which suits you in certain circumstances.
Personally in sizes 1 to 3 i use the old original Zim, size 4 to 6 i use Preston Flouro and 8 to 20 i favour Preston Original, all tend to act differently.

IT'S CATCHING ...BUT ARE YOU !!!
