Professional, and it means it!


The Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon we reviewed consisted of 10lb test in the green color. Berkley also makes a clear colored line as well.

Green tint. Also available in clear.


Compared to Yozuri Hybrid, its a little clearer and has a greener tint.

Now its time to get more in depth with this review!!



Gear for the review consisted of:
Rod: Shimano V-Rod VCT66MH 6'6" MH
Reel: Shimano Citica 200D 6:2:1 Ratio
Line: 10lb Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon

 



















Using backing can allow you to get 2 reels spooled, from a single 200yd spool. Just leave some old line on, and tie the new line to it. Save some cash and time!

Another color comparison.

The final product is something like this. Lets go get some bass!

I started with a Lucky Craft LV500 since summertime usually means fishing deeper. Tying it using the popular Palomar knot worked perfectly.



Tight Polomar knot on Lucky Craft 500 max
Perfect palomar knot. We didn't have any slippage issues.


Durability / Strength: After about 30 casts, the line looks good. There are no nicks or cuts and the knot is strong. I also show the results after spending 3 hours of fishing on the next page.
