Gliss Monotex Line ~ A Brief Review

I'm still using 18# to fluoro leader on a couple spinning rods.  Having a leader eliminates nearly the fraying and longetivity problems for me.

Good to hear.

I used a leader with it on both spinning & casting gear.

Something near 15 -20 feet.

I was unable to duplicate the same results.

I used Gliss Several years ago when it first came out. I used it in the 18# & 24# test for several months on a couple of reels. I had the same fraying issues as A-Jay. The one really nice thing I liked about it was it got a DD22 down to 22'. It is the only line I have had do that. Once it started to fray I broke it with my hands.

I've exhausted my 17# Nanofil and went to 18# Gliss.  I can see some slight fraying only after 1 outing.  Question:

I love the casting distance of 18# Gliss, am I going to lose much going to 40# Gliss?

Am I wrong that as Gliss frays, its casting distance will deteriorate?

How many outings usually before fraying causes you guys to replace the line?

I scanned.  Float or sink?

NVM, after 1 outing 18# Gliss was starting to fray and this morning I lost 4 lures on breakoffs after my leader was lost on the first break.

Going to have to goto 40# can't afford to lose lures like that.
