'BRUTAL'

Strengths:
Incredibly strong and doesn't take any prisoners in terms of cutting through weeds and the alike.
Great knot strength.
Like all Braided lines fantastic bite indication.

Weaknesses:
Horrible to cast with, this line made my casting ability feel like that of a new angler compromising precision casting.

Overall:
The stiffness of the line does relax as it becomes more worn in, however as it becomes more worn in the line also takes on a flaky look which isn't very inspiring but doesn't appear to detract from the lines strength.
I find it overall hard to compare this line to any Mono as it's simply not mono it's something far more brutal lacking the fines of mono lines and replacing it raw unadulterated power.

'ULTIMATE LINE FOR LURE FISHING'

Strengths:
resists line twist, and tangle proof, casts well, great dark colour, very very strong

Weaknesses:
none that ive found, oh yes dont get it wrapped round a branch the lure aint comming back- very high knot strength-

Overall:
Brilliant stuff dont bother with anything else immensly strong,casts brilliantly. Cant help thinking the test strength is way understated.

I have used mine for about 5 years now and its still going strong, superb line for fishing. I dont use anything else for feeder fishing, bite indication is immediate.

'Terrific braided line - one to try!'

Strengths:
Good knot strength for a braided line and casts nicely too.

Weaknesses:
A horrible grey colour that, like most braids, washes out a little with use. Feels a little coarse when you run your fingers along it.

Overall:
I'm sure this line has been offered in green as well, but I've used the grey for about 4 years now and it is a very good line. Most braids twist with multiple casting when spinning for predators, but Fireline seems to resist twist and 'line bunching', where a tangle of line gets stuck in your rings. Probably the best braid I've ever used.

'BRILLIANT'

Strengths:
Used the 30lbs for just about all my bait fishing for the last four seasons, broke it once in all that time.

Weaknesses:
Goes a bit furry and grates in the rings.

Overall:
Wicked for trotting, drifter fishing (300yds just about fits a Shimano 8000-size spool...) and float legering deads.

Can't fault it, shop around and you can get it a lot cheaper.
