Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament Fishing Line

I hate in the fishing community that everybody thinks you need to buy the overpriced "leader" wrist spools to use with braided line. That is simply not the case. It's literally the same stuff just the leader claims to be more "abrasion resistant". I'm not believing that it's literally the same stuff as a spool of line. That being said, this works perfectly for me. It's very good quality and my line flys through the guide smoothly. It's super easy to cast and isn't overly visible. I've also never had it coil up on me. It's good to be able to replace long lengths of leader without being worried, knowing I'm not being ripped off for paying for "leader line"

Good Quality. Great Price!!

I bought the 8lb green Berkley Big Game line and am really happy with it. I now use it on 2000 and a 2500 size shimano spinning reels.The Big Game 8lb really holds my knots good. No surprises so far. I use clinch knots with 5 turns or Uni-Knots. I pull kind of slow so the line stays strong and I don't lick my knots like a lot of people do. I also tie up "egg loop" style leaders on #8-#6 181 eagle claw or Owner #8 mosquito hooks.The green Big Game is easy enough to see when stringing up my rod or tying up rigs, but isn't so easy for me to see at a distance.I haven't had any tangles or problems with loops in the spool, but I'm very used to paying attention and I close the bail by hand and deliberately line up the line on the roller by habit. Online, some people gripe about it, but I think its pretty good. Go figure. Before approx 1980, line could go under the spool on my Abu C4 because the spools weren't skirted like now days, that's where i picked up the habit of watching my slack after casting, probably.So all in all, I really like this new discovery, I feel dumb for never trying Big Game 8lb before now.Old Guy Nostalgia starts here 8^\I started fishing by myself in 1969 when I was 8yrs old. I had a Berkley spin/fly i got at a garage sale for $1.75, it was green and 7' long. It had a tennesee handle with slip rings for the reel. There was a heart on my berkley reel, too. So I still like Berkley in a special way, you know? Specially pink Berkley Power Nymphs with 1/32oz jig heads. Or pre rigged grasshopper 1/32oz Atomic Power Tubes with a #7 split shot. Ya, Berkley makes it fun.

Decent line but not green.

Handles big catches without snapping. Very durable and dependable line.

Great line as always. Very bright orange. Definitely recommend for quality and quantity can not beat the price

Best value for for the price. There is no where else you can find heavy test line for this price. Mono line is clear, colorless, and casts well enough for the strength. Extremely strong and stiff line is good for leader line.

My Berkley Vanish 40# fluoro top shot and leader broke several times while offshore fishing. I did a break test and it broke below 30#. Replaced it with Big Game 40# top shot together with a different 40# fluoro leader and it works great. Landed a 30# tuna.
