5 Kweeks10045
This stuff has been impossible to find in stores. I always had to order it. As with most people that fish a lot( 4+ times a week), we tend to be very particular about things. I have rods with braid, mono, and Florida for different applications. The ML spinning reels normally got 8lb Ande mono which has been great, but I always wanted something with less stretch. Small twitchbaits usually mean some line slack, which really plays havoc with braid after a while, especially in the wind. I really like the sufix advance. Lower stretch than regular mono, very supple, very smooth, decently tough, overall a great line. For the price, I think everyone should try it.

5 Dodgeguy
This is the best nonbraided line ever. Has less stretch than flouro and is more sensitive. Has extreme abrasion resistance but casts really well and far. Sufix hit a home run with this line. I just wish Dick's would have the green in stores.

5 guide service
looking forward to getting out and trying this line for the 1st time on June 22nd

5 champ 827
Use this line alot it is easy to cast and very strong and sensitive for feeling light bites. I use the 4- 6- 8lb line so I ca n't comment on the heavier lines but I have pulled up quite a few branches off the bottom without the line breaking or the knot failing! Of course I have caught many nice sized bass and pickerel on this line. I really reccomend this line for finnese fishing nedrig and neko rig and many other applications. Have no idea why this line is not available in bulk spools but I hope they will at some time! Try this line it is really good line!

I purchased this line due to its affordability, yet I was pleasantly surprised at its performance. Although it was only rated as 10 pounds, I landed a monster 14 pound channel catfish with no problem at all( other than the fact that I almost snapped my rod). I was even fishing from a pier at the time, so it hung in the air writhing for several seconds until I was able to lift it over the railing. I have a new favorite manufacturer!

Fish a lot for Smallmouth in the local rivers. This stuff holds up great in 6 lb. on light equipment. It takes a lot of punishment and holds a knot. Never lost a hooked fish yet to breakage or slipping a tie. Good feel of everything.

5 Hawkin
I just noticed that no one has reviewed this fine line! I 've used it for a few seasons now for Lake Trout, Salmon and Walleyes and it is the best line I have ever used, and I 've used alot! It ties nice, does n't tangle when pulled off the reel, lays flat on the water and I 've caught some nice fish and lost less that one hand count over the years because of line failure. I 've had hooks pull right out of the lure but the knot and line held. I use 12 lb for salmon w/6 or 8 lb leader( same type as main line) and 17 lb for lake trout w/12 or 14 lb leader. I respool 8 rods every year and always did when I used Brand X but the results are definitely better with Trilene XT low vis monofilament.

After using Spider wire EZ braid i was not impressed by Spider Wire at all. But after using this i fell in love, very strong and durable! After a fishing trip fighting 9 bass it held true and hardly lost the color like the EZ braid did. This is probaly not the greatest braid out there but for what i need it for it's amazing! Would recommend to anyone who fishes 1- 2 times a week.

5 Cperk11
I have used tons of different brands of fluorocarbon, mono, and braid, and the Berkeley big game is probably the best all around like there is. What's nice about it is that it does n't cost much, and they give you a ton of line on a role. I fish bass tournaments every week, and after every tournament i reline all 17 of my lews reels. I 've used the green color for awhile now, I recently found that they also make a brown berkley big game, and for here in Alabama, the brown that I 'm bout to start using is perfect considering all the dirty muddy waters we have. My only regret is that I ca n't find the brown anywhere except online, and Walmart is the only store that carries the brown that I 've found so far, but if u want a good all around line that will hold some 5- 10 lb bass 15- 20 Berkeley big game is the way to go. I go through about 1 roll of green 15 lb test and 1 roll of 20 lb test a week, and in that 2 rolls, I 've spent less than 15$ and I know by changing the line every week that I wo n't lose any fish.

I have this in the 100lb test as a 6' leader on my Penn 330Gti Reel that is strung with 85lb Powerpro. I 've landed quite a few large Jack Crevalle's using this Fluoro with no struggle, no nicks out of the line. Set up is rigged for grouper, have yet to have hooked into one here in Clearwater, Fl but still working on that. No doubt that this will hold up to the task with no issues!

5 Chuck
Casting is smooth, tangle free, almost ivisible in the water. The diameter is a fraction of mono. Strength, being a factor, is great. I have nothing bad to say about it. However, my last purchase of line, I was so angry with it's use that I threw it away. I think the name of it was pro source. The line was braided, red, and awful. I should have returned it, but did n't.

5 DSZ420
This was my first jump to braided line, and I went into it with some reservations. I 'd heard that braided line is too stiff, creates a lot of birdsnests, and is costly. I can say that this product did none of the above. I am able to cast a good 25 to 30 yards extra distance over using a regular monofilament line. I am not losing nearly as many lures when fishing for bass around fallen trees and rip- rap. After the first weekend of using this brand I went back to Dick's and bought more to respool my other poles.

5 Mike
Good product. Better than monofilament line and easy to use.

5 Octane_10
I 've used this line for years without a problem with knots coming untied. Use a planar knot when tying to baits and leave about an 1/8 '' tag on and you will not have a failure. When tying to a leader use a double uni, I have never had a knot fail yet using this system. This line is super smooth casting compared to traditional braid and is super quiet. It does not sound like a truck in reverse when reeling like traditional braid. It also is n't hard on rod eyes like traditional braid. I will continue to use this braid as long as it is available.

Fishing Line for Beginners

On this page...

  • What should beginners look for when choosing a fishing line?
  • How does the type of fishing line affect fishing success for beginners?
  • What is the difference between monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing lines?
  • Are there specific fishing lines recommended for different types of fishing?
  • How important is the line strength when selecting fishing line for beginners?

Frequently Asked Questions For Fishing Line for Beginners

Beginners should consider factors such as line type, strength, and ease of use when selecting a fishing line. Monofilament lines are often recommended for their flexibility and ease of handling, while fluorocarbon lines offer better invisibility underwater. It's also important to choose a line that matches the type of fishing being done, whether it's freshwater or saltwater.

The type of fishing line can significantly impact a beginner's fishing success. Different lines have unique properties, such as stretch, visibility, and abrasion resistance, which can influence how well they perform in various fishing conditions. Understanding these differences helps beginners select the right line for their specific fishing techniques and environments.

Monofilament fishing lines are known for their stretch and buoyancy, making them a forgiving choice for beginners. In contrast, fluorocarbon lines are less visible underwater and have a lower stretch, providing better sensitivity and control. Each type has its advantages, and the choice often depends on the fishing conditions and personal preference.

Line strength is crucial for beginners as it determines the line's ability to handle the weight of the fish being targeted. It's important to choose a line with an appropriate strength rating that matches the fishing technique and species. This ensures that the line can withstand the stress of catching fish without breaking.
