Fake line

I just know brown stuff since i ran out of sylcast

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Confusingly, Berkley sell both braids and fused lines using the "Fireline" brand and you have to be very careful what you are ordering.In this case, it's a fused line which handles brilliantly, has all the no stretch advantages of braid and neatly sidesteps a ban on braid imposed by a local angling club.

What about the fused lines shock resistance, abrasion resistance and its suppleness Ken, does it tick all of these boxes?

Keith,

 

It won the "Best Fishing Line" award at the 2017 ICAST

Berkley actually claims that Berkley FireLine Ultra 8 Superline is four times more abrasion resistant than its predecessor.

The only mention of "shock" was that the abrasion resistances transferred to shock resistances. (Some long casters are trying it (?).

It is stiff by every account then explained that in this case stiff is a good thing. Matter of opinion I guess.

 

Ohh - and the Name - Ultra 8 has to do with the 8 strands braided and fused. He!!, I thought it only came in 8lb.

 

BTW Ken is right. There must be 100 or more Berkley "Fireline" products on the market. The name of this stuff is in RED
