I decided to put fireline on my only reel. This spinning reel serves for senkos, TR worms, lipless cranks, and spinnerbaits. (I can here ya'll groaning, but I can't afford a new combo right now.) I was thinkin' either 20/30lb braid, but what color should I get? Water visibility round here is never more than 1-2ft three ft max. Thanks for your help,

anything but fireline. if you're going for a braid try suffix. i like yo-zuri hybrid. roadwarrior always talks about it and i finally gave it a try and it's AMAZING. and really strong.... AND INVISIBLE!

I'd love to try hybrid, but the aforementioned spinning reel only holds up to 8 lb. test. So for fishing cranks (remember I only have 1 rod and reel...) if I get it stuck in some nice grass or something... .BOOM! no more plug. That's why I want braid. I can get 20 or 30lb test to fit on my reel.

i say give the fireline tracerbraid a try, alot of guys are really happy with it.

On a spinning reel I personally won't go heavier than 20lb. I recommend Stren Sonic Braid, or Super Braid if you can find it. Power Pro and Suffix aren't bad thats just not what i like. Don't waste your money on Fireline.

Agreed with the guys above, don't get Fireline...get Fireline BRAID.

I meant braid. Yet another stupid made!  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Honestly, Berkley should've named their braid something without "Fireline" in it since Fireline seems to have a lot of negative attitudes attached with it. I used the original Fireline and I wasn't very happy with it either.

The 30# Fireline Braid works very well on spinning gear-it has a 8# mono diameter. I use the Tracer so I can see it better than the solid green. I have it on two of my finesse presentation rigs. I do prefer the Stren Superbraid over any other superline so far (not happy with it being discontinued).

MattinOK, you are not limited to 8# max line on your reel, your reel just shows how much typical 8# mono diameter line it will hold. You can use a higher pound test line and it will hold less, or you can use a lower pound test line and it will hold more.

Try Fireline Crystal.  I'm quite fond of the stuff.

Agreed with the guys above, don't get Fireline...get Fireline BRAID.

FireLine braid is by far the best braid i have ever used! Suffix and Pp can't even dream of touching it!!!!! I use the green for all my fishing.

The problem with Fireline is what again? I've been using this line, in various weights, for 1/2 dozen years now and have had no problems what-so-ever. I hear about the evils of Fireline every now & then and it just bewilders me?

Anyway, think about trying the Crystal version. Been using that for 2 seasons now and I love it. But stick with the lighter weights. The 30# test will pull over a tree. ;D
