Hi guys,

Anyone out there tried the Berkley FireLine Crystal yet?

I like the regular Fireline but wanted to get an idea if anyone has tried this new one.

Getting ready to get my budget set for new line and all when we hit Michigan in a few weeks.

Tnx

I have 2 rods setup with it the 8lb & 14lb, I like this line alot. I have heard some bad reports on it, but I have had great luck with it. Give it a try, I think you will like it too.

Good Luck, Daniel

I tried fireline once.

Last time too...

I hate the stuff just like any other fireline! Others love it, don't ask me why? They probably never tried power pro!

Tnx all.

I have used the Fireline for a few years but not sure abot the new Crystal...

What is Power Pro?

I have fireline on my spinning reel and really like it.  From reading posts on the forum, it sounds like they have problems with consistently producing a quality product.  A lot of people hate it, while a lot of people love it.  

Tnx all.

What is Power Pro?

Power Pro is one of the best braided lines you can get.

Can I ask what makes it (powerpro) so good? Is it low vis? Thats what I like about Fireline Crystal.

Power Pro is durable and has a very thin diameter for its tested strength.  It casts with ease.  With use, I get some fraying with Power Pro.  Sufix Performance Braid has all of the qualities of Power Pro but I have never had any fraying with it, so it is my favorite braid at this time.  I'm not aware of any low vis braids, except for the new Fireline Crystal that you asked about.

I use braid in heavy cover so low visibility isn't an issue.  When I am fishing light cover or clear water and need low visibility I use fluorocarbon or a copolymer line such as Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft.
