Rated 5 out of 5 by RudyH Best superline for spinning reels, bar none
Fireline is absolutely the best, most trouble free, line for spinning reels, bar none. Excellent durability too. Extremely rare tangle or wind knot compared to braid. This is my standard line on spnning reels now.

Using a leader with Fireline. What material to use? Length? How to tie to Fireline to leader material?
Details:
Freshwater SpinningAnswers
A:
I use a barrel swivel between the fire line and leader, with length dependent on plug or bait usedA:
I am using a fluorocarbon leader about 30-36" long on my fireline. I originally tied a longer 8-10' section but it caused casting problems becuase the knot I used that was strongest was also large and hung up. I used a double uni knot to tie them together and it seems to hold just fine.A:
any good pro knoch like rapala recomandation wil work grate.unless your fishing for pike or muski you can fish whit out a leader.him sorry i use a very good tie way but i dont remember the well none name of it.A:
I use about 10-20 feet of Flourocarbon as a leader. There are a couple of knots that work well, unfortunatly I cannot recall their names, but they are most frequently used in fly fishing when connecting two different weights of mono in a stepped-down leader. You might find directions on a pack of mono line, or on the internet.Top 25 Contributor
A:
Use a fluorocarbon leader wieght depends on what you are fishing for. mozt inshore use will be 20lb as would bass or pike. A four turn surgeons knot is best having doubled the Fireline first tying in the double section to the leader. Length is fine around 18 inches.Answers
A:
The pound test listed is probably acurate as far as the performance tests go but I feel that in actual use the line performs at a higher pound rating. Two years ago using 10 lb test I snagged a log. I was able to bring it up from the bottom and retrieved my jig, the log was about 10" in diameter and about 8' long.A:
It is more if you ask me.Top 250 Contributor
A:
The listed strength is the minimum tested strength for Stealth braid in that diameter.Details:
ive heard red is the first color to become invisable under waterAnswers
A:
i beleave smoke is the best all around for stain water.green wil do much better then red wich is the very last color i ever use.i read about red to be one of the fish can manage to see at a deaper depth.best regar jean-louis hope this will help you.A:
Berkley Fireline - crystal color (looks white)A:
I've fished with all three I love the clear. The somke tend to fade a little and realy look's bad after awhile it dose work well in cloudy or mudy water. But the clear is the ticket for clear water.A:
in my opinion it doesnt matter one bit. any bass big enough for you to want to catch isn't going to get spooked by some line (normaly) and bass arent smart enough to know what line is let alone what it is for.A:
It is true that red is the first color to change but it does not become invisible. It's because of the wave length of red light. Sorry, but I promise that's all the physics I'll put into this answer. Basically red light is the weakest of the colors, as light travels through water it gets weaker which is why at depth there is no light at all. If I remember correctly red doesn't "disappear" until around 80 feet, and even then it just turns greenish. Hah, found that out on a wreck dive about 120 feet down when I cut my hand. Haha, there's nothing like bleeding green!A:
Red is the fist color on a prism, so it does make sense.Images for this Answer

A:
my crystal fireline is invisiable under water. you cant see it after about a foot in the clearest water.Top 500 Contributor
A:
The theory that red dissapears under water has been shot down many times by notable fishing shows and magazines, there is a point where it does, but it must acheive a certain depth based on water clarity to do so. As for the other colors they also depend on water clarity, in darker water you obviously want a color to match, if you fish cloudy water i recommend a lo-vis green, clear water you'll want to try Fireline Crystal or a Fluorocarbon/Mono line.Top 250 Contributor
A:
That is what I have heard also. I tried Cajun line once and it is hard to see under water. I did not like the memory it has. Fire line has no memory. I have both the smoke fire line and also the crystal fire line spooled. smoke due to the small diameter does not show in the water too much. I tried the crystal for the first time and even though the first couple of feet you can see the line, I cannot see it at deeper depths. It is no worse than any other mono out there.Top 25 Contributor
A:
I would not be too concerned with the color. Use what you can see to handle. With a good clear fluorocarbon leader you'll eliminate line visbility concerns. Red does vanish quickly in the water colum but that means red as light not a solid object. Red objects simply go black the deeper you go.Answers
A:
Must be, have never used it on a spinning reel or fly reel.A:
Yes, I use it on my shimano baitcaster.A:
Yes I use it on my baitcast reel. you do have to get use to it because it cast's futher than mono. but it's awsomeA:
its great for baitcasters but needs to be replaced every 3-6 months not once a year like normal.A:
This line is recommended for spinning reels.Images for this Answer

I also would not recommend this line for a baitcaster. I had terrible luck when I tried it on a baitcaster.Top 10 Contributor
A:
i would defiantly not recommend this for a bait cast reel i wouldn't even on a spinning .Details:
we are talking 14 pounds test amber color and also white.from weekend to weekend,i have to check carefully the drag on my shimano because the line spinning loose(no cluchtor drag ) i have to cast as far as possible and empty the rest of the spool by hand and retreave putting a small drag whit my finger otherwise the entire spool full will spind on hymself..wyAnswers
A:
Make sure you use mono backing on the reel. Make sure it is put on tight enough. It never spins loose on my baitcaster or spinning.A:
Make sure that you are backing your Fireline with at lease one layer of mono, preferably the same tensile strength as the Fireline. Make sure when you spool the Fireline, that you are getting it pretty tight, you will find with the higher tensile strenth line, it will take plenty of casting and reeling to take out all the slack. Remember that this line works best with spinning reels.Images for this Answer

A:
Is your Fireline backed? When putting any of the braids or superlines such as Fireline on your reel they need to be backed with a few yards of mono. Put around 10 yards of 8 or 10lb mono on the spool first then tie in your superline with a uniknot and fill the spool. Without this backing the superlines can spin on the spool since they are so slick. The mono will bind locking the line on. This trick will always help you, don't fall for the story or using a piece of tape or a rubber band, use the mono backing.1 of 1
