Berkley "Iron Silk"

I gotta say, the name sold me.......

I got this real cheap on sale, been using it for a few weeks.....

and i have mixed feelings....

HELP ME OUT

casting- not good at all, and the string can catch itself and tangle pretty bad sometimes

nots- good stuff, i love tying this stuff

feel- kind of heavy feel, not very sensitive

visibility- its dark green, but is apparently less visible then it looks like

strength- A+, you gotta cut this line to break it, some strong stuff

durability- it almost feels like it is soft on the outside, and gets nicked up pretty easy, but i still have yet to see it break

Anybody care to help me sway to one side.......anyone use this stuff before?

it definately needs help, but has some better aspects....

We have had several threads recently discussing Iron Silk. Some guys like it, some of us think it is "THE WORST" line ever made. (Others say Vanish deserves the title).

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!  It stretches like salt water taffy >.

garbage...along with almost every other brand of Berkley line...

The spool I got had the memory and castability of tie wire :-X  I was not impressed at all and agree with RW's statement.

Iron more than silk.  I use it as backer with confidence.

I have A spool as well. It's ONLY used as a backer for good line! Way too much memory for me! But at least its good for something Vanish will never make it as backer line on my reels!

Stuff reminded me of that green wire the florists use.  

I got a spool for free and gave it away.  Just feeling that stuff on the spool was an immediate turnoff.

The absolutely worse line I've ever spooled on a reel  >

As some here know I work for Academy so I'll let y'all in on a secret; if it's on sale real cheap it's because it's junk that would not move at the normal price.  

I have to go with everyone on this=JUNK I put it as backing too. In fact let me put it this way Too bad of a line to put on a good reel!

JUNK

I think it's a very poor line. We all experiment with lines and I am as guilty as the next guy. For me and spinning reels its #6 Yozuri Soft, #8 Excel. For baitcasters and flippin with #20 test its XT and for wormin and pitchin Jigs its #12-#17 Big Game and #12 YS, bottom line. JMHO
