berkley fireline

[johnnytwodrogues]

It seems that Berkley Fireline comes highly recommended for spinning; does it require different knots to mono? I presume that it is hardwearing, otherwise the cost would be prohibitive- who offers the best deals?
Thanks J2D

Hi,

Firstly, what a great name ;D Reminded me of Gazza's mate Jimmy Five-Bellies - although I'm sure you're a picture of health

You can get this line on ebay - just do a search on their site.

I use a knot called, quite unimaginatively, the Braid Knot (look on one of the websites that have fishing knots). The knot is pretty straightforward.

I used Berkley Vanish last season and Im sure they give advice of the type of knot to use inside of the packaging.

I haven't tried the Berkley fireline yet but I would strongly reccommend Tufline XP braid - extremely fine and more resistant to abrasion than Spiderline. Be careful with knots, though!

Berkley ghost line is highly recommended.(by me anyway)
i use it for a leaders, spinning and worming.. Its also bloody good for floating crusts when carp fishing..
