I use 70metres of 6mm (microbore) on both my reels, can have the flow rate as high as I like and its nicer to use than the 8mm.

4mm soft and flexible, lightweight silicon hose for me.

Statistically more of our customers buy 6mm. This may be due to the fact though that this is what we promote as we find that it works best.
