Fluoroshield co-poly

[OkobojiEagle]

I think I'm going to give 8lb test Berkley Fluoroshield a try on a casting rod/reel I use when fishing suspending jerkbaits, top water and small crankbaits.  The line has been in the market place for a couple years, but I haven't found many comments/reviews positive or negative.  I'm interested in anyone's experienced opinion if they'd be willing to share.

Haven't tried it, but seems like it will compete with Pline's floroclear.  I'd just be careful not to backlash or get any loops/kinks in the spool with those floro coated lines.

I like it. Holds up decent, slick line that casts well, relatively thin for lb. test, manageable stretch. I used it all last year on 3 bank setups and didn't find anything to hate about it. Brian.

 I appreciate you sharing your experience.

FC coated co-polymer lines have not really done all that well in the market (except Yozuri Hybrid) . The reason is the P-Line FloroClear had / has a bad reputation for breakage below the stated pound strength - that turned a lot of fishermen off of using it . Many moved on to budget friendly FC lines like Seaguar Red Lable , or simply wait until higher priced FC lines go on sale - then stock up .

I used it last year and liked it, I think it is just Berkeley Sensation with a coating on it.

That sounds promising.  Sensation has been my nylon mono of choice for several years.  Thanks for the input.
