Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon 2024

AZfishrman01 reply :

I've used this stuff and I think it's great. It's a high quality line for the price. This poor student angler is pretty happy?

What do you all think?

BassThumb reply :

Quality stuff. Better than Vanish or the Cabelas stuff. Thats all I've used though.

Hammer 4 reply :

Well, it's fine If you don't use it for a leader with heavier baits. I've had the 12lb fluro snap, and it wasn't at my knot.. Lost 2 20.00 lures.. >

Big Bait Fishing reply :

i have had problems with 10 lb. and 12 lb. breaking very easy , too easy >

Pantera61 reply :

I have used the 8, 15, 17 and 20 lb test and just love the stuff. Never given me any reason to lose confidence. I'll be picking up some 6 lb in the near future.

Primus reply :

I've been very pleased with it so far, didn't break off once last year and manageable enough to use on a spinning reel.

SDoolittle reply :

I've only used the 17lb, but it seemed like good line to me.

Deputy Dave reply :

I used it for about a season and a half. I found it to be pretty stiff and unmanageable at times. (and yes I use KVD Line Conditioner religiously) I lost SEVERAL expensive lures due to the line snapping on hook sets. I gave it a fair chance and its just not the line for me. I don't have any of the same problem with BPS XPS Fluoro. Not to mention it's much cheaper!

5bass reply :

I've used the 100% since it came out and have no complaints. I use the 15, 17 and 20 the most and it's been very good line in all aspects.

I do however use a different brand fluorocarbon on my spinning gear.

Bass_Fanatic reply :

I broke off on two fish with it already and this is my first year using it. I retie and spray religously, but it still becomes unmanagable and to easy to break. Will try something else next time

BassThumb reply :

Wow. I'm surprised by the complaints. I really hope they aren't pushing defective line because I plan on buying more and spooling up soon. I never had the stuff break even a single time, and found it surprisingly resistant to cuts and abrasion from Northern teeth. I used the 8, 10, 12, and 15# tests on my worm, jig, tube, dropshot and pitching rods, both as main line and leaders. I didn't really like it on spinning reels, so I ended up doing braid and fluoro leader on all of them but one. The #15 makes for a fine line for pitching, jigging, and worms.

What is everyones expierence with seaguar? I'm thinking of starting to flip with flouro and do not have enough expierence with either Trilene or Seaguar as I've only used it on spinning apps but my buddy has started to throw crankbaits with the trilene flouro and does like it. With a little KVD conditioner he has had no problems with it, if that helps anyones decisions.

5bass reply :

The KVD Line and Lure conditioner definitely helps any fluorocarbon that I've ever used it on. In my opinion, Sunline Super Sniper is the absolute best fluorocarbon line made but even that gets a little 'stiff' once you get to the 12# and up.

Hammer 4 reply :

I was thinking about trying that line.

Beastie Bass reply :

I feel ripped off since I paid so much and all I bought was MEMORY! It was fishable for 2 weeks > I put sufix fluoro on similar reels and its SWEEEET! Have purchased KVD line conditioner for it, maybe that'll help : Had it snap trying to free a finesse jig, when other lines of similar strength straightened the hook.

It's expenxive but its great line. I think you'll like it.

burleytog reply :

Fluorocarbon isn't the best line if you don't know how to tie a good knot. Very susceptible to friction burn. Knot must be well lubricated and cinched using the tag end.

I totally agree, I found out the hard way the other day when my line came back curly tailed.

Gone_Phishin reply :

I've casted the heck out of the 8lb, and it's worked flawlessly for me.

bryand82487 reply :

I only use Trilene 100% flouro and Vanish for baitcasting gear. Although I've always seen many negative reviews and opinions on this line I've never had any issues with it or had any reason to swap to a different line. A buddy of mine just started using the Trilene Transition I believe it is, and loves it. I won't use it because the line turns to the color of the water and when it's brown I think it makes all my baitcaster setups look ugly lol. It really does work well though it's like a chameleon!

FBL... is the Sniper your choice on spinnning gear? Give me a comparative review of Sniper to Trilene 100%.

The Sunline Sniper is smaller in diameter than the Berkley 100% for starters. Sunline 10# is the same diameter as Berkley 6#. I suspect this is why the Sniper performs so well.

It has great knot strength (Burley made a good point about fluorocarbon knots earlier) The smaller diameter Sniper exceeds it's test rating. The only difference other than diameter is the type of resin they use to make the lines. I cant say for sure because I dont know the types they use but after using both, it's my opinion that Sunline uses a better resin blend, making the line thinner, stronger and in the abrasion resistance department, I'd call it a wash. Both are very good against abrasions.

All in all, both are great lines. One just happens to be thicker than the other and the thicker is a little less manageable on a spinning reel. The Sniper excels on spinning gear.

I havent used the Green Metan Sunline so I cant say. I suspect it would perform very well, judging by the price.

kikstand454 reply :

i used the trilene 100% all last year on my t-rig rod (the same spool all year) and had absolutely nothign bad to say about it. in fact... if it was cheaper id start throwing it exclusively.

however... i cant see what advantage if any i had over yozuri hybrid and so im going back to what is cheaper.

but i really liked the 100%.

: , Sunline Sniper costs around $40.00 for 164 yards , Diawa Samuri braid costs on average about $31 bucks for 150 yards ($25.00-$40.00). the 55 lb. Samuri you use costs $27.00 . with Samuri braid , the bigger tests are LESS EXPENSIVE !!! as for the Sniper line , they all cost $40.00 !!! so all in all , Samuri is cheaper

You must be looking in the wrong place....if it was THAT expensive, I wouldn't be using it. Here's the TW link.

He might as well be, it's only 10 dollars more around the 10 lb test and up range and the same price for the higher lb test line.

Bronzefly reply :

I've put the 17lb through some pretty tough battles and it hasn't let me down. The 8lb has been working out very well for me as well. I'd definitely buy more.

fathom reply :

been using the 15# the past two years.

no breakoffs yet.

zbigbadaaron reply :

off topic but what sinks faster mono or fluro?

Beastie Bass reply :

fluoro

Nitro 882 reply :

I've tried ,and like, trilene100% but I found a deal on seaguar invizx and really love it. I use 12#, 15#, and 17# floro.

For what it's worth, I learned to tie a San Diego Jam knot and really feel it's the solution to most of the "break offs" associated with floro lines.

Dan: reply :

FWIW, I also just noticed that Seaguar has a smaller diameter than equivalent Trilene 100%

Dan. Flurocarbon diameter means nothing. The fish cant see it. ;D So lets all just fish with 50# fluorocarbon and never again worry about getting broke off.

Break ratings are not accurate, they are a marketing tool (which I have a hard time separating in my mind from BS). When purchasing a line go by diameter first, as this affects presentation the most, and then consider other properties you might want (abrasion resistance, suppleness, density (FC), ...).

I do tend to fish heavier FC than I would in the same situation with copoly.

Hammer 4 reply :

The seaguar 6lb is almost as small as the trilene 4lb..I bought some of the invizx, it's Nice..so far..
