Looped leader in a bag??? Really?Dont buy this leader material in a bag unless you want a big headache! Who's the marketing genius that decided to put looped leader material in a bag? I just spent two hours of my only day off on Saturday trying to disentangle a huge rats nest of leader material. We all know what's going to happen when you have looped monofilament line pulling one end out of a bag! When I first saw this on the Shelf I thought oh cool comes in a in a bag. But in short order I figure out what a huge mistake that was. Save yourself the trouble don't buy this product!

Trilene Big Game MonoI bought a wheel of this line in 80# test to use for halibut leaders. I use a quality Palomar knot on all my ties but was very disappointed to find that the line often broke at the knot with no more than 30# pressure. Doesn't make any sense to me that it could possibly be rated to 80 pounds. Maybe that batch was defective .....or it was old stock that rotted?? Either way, somethings not right and Berkley needs to fix it.

Great leader materialI use the 50, 100, and 150 lb test for leaders. Its strong, reliable and very economical. Its great to snell hooks and is abrasion resistant.

Berkley Trilene Big Game Leader is the best!I have tied my own rigs for 40 years now. I tie them for Cod, Stripers, Fluke, Sea Bass, Ling and Blackfish. I have used many types of leader material but I find the Berkley Trilene Big Game Leader is the best. Just the right stiffness and great for all knots used in the rig tying process. Great stuff!

Great, cheap leaderI use the 150lb leader when i fish from the shore in the keys. You never quite know what your gonna get down here. Could be a tarpon, blacktip, nursie, cuda or sometimes a grouper. Using this leader, i can be pretty sure that if i hook a small-medium sized blacktip, or even a big cuda, they arent gunna break me off. But at the same time, im not using wire which the tarpon will shy away from. All around, it ties knots great, its very cheap and its very hard to see underwater, also doesnt fray easily. Would highly recomend if you want to buy cheap, high quality leader in bulk.
do you sell crimps for this? what size is recommended? crimping tool?

Fishing for tarpon
I am fishing for tarpon and flourocarbon is expensive. I was looking somewhere around the 80-130lb or even 150 range. I want to know if this stuff is clear enough so that the tarpon don't see it and and shy away or should I just spring for the flourocarbon.

Fishing for tarpon
I am fishing for tarpon and flourocarbon is expensive. I would like to use it in the 80-130 range or even 150. Is mono leader clear enough so the tarpon don't see the line on the bait? Or should I just spring for the flourocarbon?
Asked by: Islander424
yes its clear, I've used it many times in costa rica, the tarpon don't care when they are hungry. I've used 100lb, 120lb and 150lb. If you are using circle hooks you can probably go as low as 80lb
