Berkley Trilene takle review
 
Price: At $20 for 200 yards, the initial sticker shock is kind of bad. Not only is it 3 times more than your average monofilament line, but its only 200 yards, instead of the regular 300+. One thing to remember is that this isn't a line that you are going to use a few times and then respool. Fluorocarbon lasts awhile, which is key to its success.
