Super User Darren. Posted September 25, 2014 Super User Posted September 25, 2014 Interesting line coming out... http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/the-lateral-line/european-tackle-company-says-theyve-created-a-line-that-could-replace-braid Quote
georgeyew Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Looks promising. If it makes it to market, I'll try it. But not in that pink color though Quote

ColdSVT Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 0.010 has a 4kg breaking point...that would be 8.8lbs. 30lb power pro is 0.011 10lb tatsu is 0.010 30lb smackdown is 0.009 10lb sniper is 0.0102 Quote

Dubious claim, then. Guess we'll have to wait-n-see after it's finally on the market. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 25, 2014 Super User Posted September 25, 2014 Guess they should have named it Bliss. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted September 26, 2014 Super User Posted September 26, 2014 Sounds interesting, if it comes to fruit I will definitely try it. I am confused about the line diameter as well. I am not sure if it is meant to be compared to Nylon Monofilament in which case it is marginally thinner at the same breaking strength. Quote
powerduster Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I enjoy trying new things and definitely don't mind the pink coloration. I always liked the brighter colors such as yellow and neon green over the moss green. Quote

ColdSVT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 If the number gliss stated is in mm than im impressed lol Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 26, 2014 Super User Posted September 26, 2014 The makers of FC lines made all kinds of claims about low stretch when it first came out that proved to be false. Once it is released to the public, we'll see if the claims are true. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I don't see how it could be .01mm. That would be .0004 inches. And as a machinist, that is tiny. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 26, 2014 Super User Posted September 26, 2014 It's not braid, but a fused PE line, like many that are already out. Fused lines don't have the super high break strength, but they have a purpose. A low stretch line that floats probably has a place in bass fishing, that 10# diameter doesn't have a 40# break strength isn't a deal breaker. Quote
ColdSVT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I don't see how it could be .01mm. That would be .0004 inches. And as a machinist, that is tiny.Thats what in sayin lolIm not a machinist but im pretty smart when it comes to math, scientific notation, conversion and sig figs lol Quote
Jaheff Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 On the Salt water forum, they are saying it's a miss print... Should be .100 not .010 I think it makes more sense. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 15, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 15, 2014 I hope they come out with that stuff in pink like they show in the pictures, then I won't have to hunt all over for pink fireline for my wife's rod anymore Quote
Megastink Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Ardent is selling Gliss on their new website: ardentreels.com I'm very curious about this line. Its thinner than braid, zero stretch. We'll see how it holds up... 1 Quote
Megastink Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I found this video about Gliss on YouTube. This line is German made. It's got be good stuff! 1 Quote
IndyGlockMan Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I wonder how visible it is underwater? The "trans" color looks too white, but it's hard to tell. Green might be a good choice. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 Just ordered a spool - For me - Braided line, even when it first came out, was the most impactful advance in fishing (both fresh & saltwater) in my life time. I don't see this having the same effect but a line that has the better qualities of both braid & mono ~ Might be close. Could certainly impact many of my moving bait presentations in a positive manner. Sounds a little too good to be true. I hope I'm wrong but we'll soon see. A-Jay Quote
Megastink Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It's pretty affordable at $14.99 for 150 yards. $27.99 for 300 yards @ Ardent Reels .com Compared to braid prices, this has a lot of promise. I've been reading more about it, and have highlighted the claims which will need to be tested: -Zero line twist -zero stretch -0% water absorbsion -ultra long casting distance -thinner diameter than braid I too am curious about the translucent, but it seems to be trying to replace braid. So I'll buy some and treat it like braid. Let's see how it holds up! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 11, 2015 Tried to order some but they only take Paypal? That'd be fine if I hadn't just drained my Paypal account on a Dep's Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 So what is the difference between our American braid and this gliss? Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 There's a user on TT that's been using it and another user posted 3 links to others that have been using it as well. The line is being compared to nanofil but stronger. Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 Are my conversions acurate?... the lightest test Gliss is 8kg or ~17lb and .12mm diameter or .005". The stated diameter is equivalent to 6lb test NanoFil oe Quote
