BerkleyTrilene Sensation Monofilament Fishing Line

Brise à rien 😔

Bought 4lb test (orange) for an ultralight setup with enough for another reel. Great sensitivity on the ultralight setup and surprisingly strong on a heavier (medium heavy rod) setup. Pulled in back to back large mouth, 5 and 6 lbs, easily. I did have a nasty wind knot the next day, but I wasn't too worried. Cut it off and went right back to fishing. While the heavier setup was definitely for fun, it's not my original intention. Still super happy with the purchase and use with my ultralight rig.

Line broke (6 lb test) twice controlling fish (2 lb Smallies) at my side while river wading. Lost the fish, the lures and the fish, I will presume, lost their lives in the end. The previous day I had a good strike on a topwater lure, the line immediately snapped, but the lure popped to the surface and I recovered it. The line had broken about 1/8 inch above the knot. I noticed that the line seemed to have nicks and abrasions. I had the line on a reel dedicated to topwater baits. What could abrade it - water? Wind? Is the river water heavily mineralized hard water? I have never had this issue with any Berkley line - have used XT Green for decades - even 4 lb line never broke like that on me. Most brittle line ever....I'm close to cursing here, I have to stop. I feel badly for those fish. Do not ever buy this crappy line.

Very tough for such light line. Handled some big fish well so far. Cast a 1/64oz jig head good. Not crazy far but far enough to get the job done for sure. Abrasion resistance has been really well too, as the creeks I fish are full of rocks and these smallmouth and redbreast love running you under them.

Happy with my purchase
