#$% fireline!!

[BBK]

Well said x2.
not good form to insult people on public forums.... can disagree all you want, but keep it somewhat positive.

Thats funny... because every time I say something about people being rude I get the same answer... "Its a public forum what did you expect?"

 just notice  braided  is  advertised as  super line  fireline  has  "what they call " a superline  .....braided  is also called  superline by everyone!  i know this  because i deal with reps from  power pro and  berkley

bbk you talk to much and listen to little

[trapper2000]

i use  braided  on top water too  no problems   use it  in the salt  too  great stuff  in clear water you can  run a leader  of  flora or mono, getting back to the  origal post i still think you either  have a burr in a  guide  or on bale  or got a bad spool! i had the same problem with  a spool of  power pro ended up i had a  burr in a guide

i picked up some 20 lb today and well see if that stuff breaks..

Just a thought BL, do you use fireline on several different poles with the same result=Brokenline (sorry no pun intended). Maybe spool up another pole or 2 and try them also that might narrow it down to a line problem or a burr on a guide or bale as Trap has mentioned. Just a thought.

[brokenline]

guys this thread is about line not wether line is flat or round.. its like arguing about cow crap.. some of it just comes out a little different every time and every farmer will have a different opinion on it..btw the 20lb stuff rocks!!

[trapper2000]

just watch your hands brokenline  i seen some  guys  to cut bad on it  most saltwater  guys use a  figher cap or a glove  just to cast it!

[brokenline]

i have the  fire line on all my rods this is the only time ive had a problem.. btw.. smaller diamater line will go deeper.. braids are generaly thinner compared to monos of the same poundage less surface area in the water..

btw the 20lb stuff rocks!!

By far my favorite lb test. I use the 14 on my spining reels, and have tried the 30 lb. But 20 lb i think is best for most applications(bass and pike.... probalby wouldn't use 20 lb on a brook trout pole.)

Well hopefully the 20lb stuff will be hassle free for ya. Let me know how ya like it, I might pick some up.
Good fishin'

Well worth the $15...  i would suggest using some old mono as a backing, and only putting 40-50' of fireline on. Cuts down on the price a little.

[brokenline]

yeah or however you're longest casts are..

[BBK]

You have to use mono backing if you have an aluminum or graphite spool. Otherwise the braid will damage it.

Braid does not cut through the water better then mono or flouro.

The line diameter is just one factor. Braid is not a smooth round line which means it will cause more drag in the water then mono or flouro would.
