basser89 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I tried it once and that was all it took for me. Never finished the spool. HORRIBLE memory issues! One of the worst lines I ever used. Do yourself a favor and get rid of it! Quote
Copen1822 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I've fished a couple spools. The first one I was very happy with but the second was very stiff and broke with a quick jerk. Wouldn't use it again. Quote
Bronzefly Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I'm not sure I'd even trust it as backing ;D Seriously, I think it's absolutely terrible line. I used it just long enough to realize how bad it really was. Quote

I used it just long enough to realize how bad it really was. x2. This is exactly what happened with me. It was the only line I ever used that caused a birds nest on spinning gear. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted January 28, 2010 Super User Posted January 28, 2010 I guess I'm one of the few guys who is sorry that Iron Silk has been discontinued. I only used the 14 and 17 pound test. I thought the 17 pound test was the best spinnerbait line I've ever used. I found it to be very abrasion resistant. On further review there were some line memory issues but a couple of shots of line magic and then it worked retty good for the rest of the day. Quote
