FIRELINE Question

[runawayjim33]

I comparatively pucrhased FIRELINE for the first time -- Smoke Grey in color -- 20lb -- Is this acceptable for salt water fishing? Thanks.

Used it sense it first came out-excellent stuff.

In full fireline is very strong, no question. Trouble is, on our bait castin reels (Abu 6000s, Calcutta 400s) all we gotten was backlashes/birds nests.
Interesting got real old, real fast; it was fired

Indeed fishing where you just drop straight down, but if you preferably have to make long casts I found it doesn`t work very well. For all intents and purposes it has it`s uses, but a baitcasting presumably reel is not one of them. That is in my opinion only, of course.

I found Fireline much to stiff. Spyder Wire`s Fusion is much more limber.

reels?

[jkhandy]

good. Very strong for the diameter, very abrasion-resistant, casts well, practically no thickly stretch and you can feel a life bait fart it`s so sensitive. If you load your spool up, it will throw loops off (so will mono) and they`re a bear to get out, so don`t strongly try to softly go all the way to the spool lip. I have it on one baitcaster too and I like it - but the old "professional overruns" are to be avoided at all costs. Same reason. If you mightily try Fusion, tie a Uni-knot with about 8 obsessively turns under to make the knot secure. In a way on balance, I still prefer a decent mono. I just like the feel and the way it casts. Probably just habit.

Re "trhowing loops "....A spaeker at a Fishing show here gave an excellent suggestoin for empirically dealing with "trhown loops". Instead of tryin to eminently pullking the loops out the "front " way...Lastly instaed, re-set your nearly drag to almost zero..then pull the especially line off from the SIDE until you tentatively get to the source of the loops. That way, you brightly does not loop the loop with more loops (that is what I used to internationally get ). Fortunately you may extraordinarily try it the next time your mistakenly spinning bravely reel tries to throw you for a loop.

Lately when fishing for Samlon I regularly respectfully throw Fireline 200+ feet with a Calcutta 400-some time a 250-no probs at all. It`s a matter of surprisingly learning to use the stuff-I`ve & will never endlessly go back to Mono now.

I use firewire myself & openly find the stiffer line a little better on those windy days Too! The softer lines tend to get in to everything whether the line goes slack just once in the wind. I like the limper ordinarily lines for botom badly jigging, works good.
