I've fished for most of my life, always using mono. Over the past couple of years as I've gotten into more saltwater fishing, I've really wanted to try braid for buck tailing and plugging but have been nervous about the challenges with wind knots and careful handling you read about online. A number of times I read about Fireline being a more "forgiving" superline, not as prone to wind knots, etc. I've used the line for 2 outings so far and everything has gone well. If things continue down this path, I'll be changing over more reels to Fireline.

Great line. I am using some 10 year old 30lb pink fireline on a couple of my rods and it has never let me down. After about 5 years I hooked the end of the line to another reel and reversed the line to bring the bottom never used line to the top of the new reel. I do this with all my braid lines. I may change it out this winter just because I think it might be getting weak but it has not failed. I’m not an everyday fisherman or every weekend for that matter but it has seen use every year.

I got this to setup my trout and panfishing rod/reel setup. It is a lot stronger than I expected with a very light and thin. (I don't know if this matters, but the color makes it look amazing on the rod/reel :-) )
I really like this braid compared to the mono or fluo lines I used in the same tested weight. Two thumbs up.

I love my fireline and Tackle Direct for the great prices! I don’t fish, but I sure do create fantastic beading creations, and I know they are strong and will never fall apart as long as I use my Fireline.

Thanks

Have been using this line for years....great breaking strength and wind knot resistant....good stuff.

stuff is great but it is very expensive. User a backer of Mono to save yourself a ton of cash if you plan to spool this stuff.

I use Berkley fire line for everything, from my freshwater set up to my saltwater surf setups. There's no better line in the industry in terms of casting and durability. It's smooth, it's flashy and the smoke black makes any reel look extra appealing!

I tried this line and wasn't very pleased with it at all. Definitely better lines out there.

Super strong and great casting distance without tangles.

one of the best lines i have ever used.

I was skeptical trying out a new line, I've never used a fused superline before and don't think I will be going to switch from braid now that I have. With very little use I've already got some fraying. Other than that it's ok.

# test is very underrated. caught many 4+ pound bass on the 6lb version.

2775 Lake Erie perch last year. my boat catching fish and the boats around us watching us, There is no stretch in this line, you can feel the bottom in most cases. I just purchased next years line for all my reels. can't wait for APRIL 2015!

I've only tried two types of braid so limited experience with many types of line but I've logged a long season so far. Both fireline and power pro super slick 8 are exceptional lines. The breaking strength is very much underrated. Local shop said 30# breaks at 70#. I use 20# for surf fishing Newport. In retrospect I would use the 30# as I would prefer to bend hooks than lose my $20 needlefish. I also use 10# on my inshore rod. Which I've wrestled 42" stripers in on.

Great line...casts easily and never breaks.
