Fire Line Crystal

Has any one tried this line yet. With the very clear water on the Bull I need every advantage I can get . LOL

the Fireline is great, Sensitivity is amazing, when they say you can feel a fish swim by your bait they where not lying! Jerkbait's, Topwaters, Cranks, Swimbait's perfect for all of these situation's. Word to the wise though, if your going to fish it on the bottom, Make sure you use a mono or fluoro leader to prevent breakoffs. Take a piece of it and just run it over a rock a few times....... Not Good, I quit fishing it on all my Jigs, drops, rigs, and shakey head set ups.

I don't know about the Crystal but I wouldn't use the regular Fire Line if it were free. Every braid I have used is bad in rocky areas. A good leader is a must for me. I use a fluro leader attached with an Alberto's knot.

I use it on my bass rods and love it. Like someone else said though, I run a mono leader incase I do get hung up I can break it instead of "trying" to break the fire line. Veldon

I like superlines, and I use FireLine on my spinning reels almost exclusively. I almost always use a mono or fluoro leader, but not because the stuff isn't tough enough. I've noticed scissors and clippers that will make short work of mono sometimes don't quite "cut it" for clipping through superlines. So I don't think most break offs are from sharp rocks or whatever, but from the knot cutting into itself. I use 40-pound test or heavier for spinnerbaits around heavy cover- dock lines, rip-rap, trees- and have never had it sawed through or really damaged at all by dragging over or through the nasty stuff. Maybe the thinner stuff does, but I don't think so.

Anyway, the Crystal isn't really clear enough for my tastes- so like I said, I use a leader- but some guys have no problem using the regular-colored superlines lines tied direct.

Would this be good for trout fishing? I have never tried a super line before and was wondering if I should drop some money on it.

I don't think it would be the best choice for trout. But I have never personally tried it. It kinda looks like white string in the water.
