Berkley Trilene XL

“I've got some 12 lb mono "Berkley® Trilene XL® Smooth Casting™". I've backlashed it a few times but have always been able to recover it, so there's that.”

“I recommend mono as it is a bit more forgiving, cheaper, and casts further.”

“Trout Magnet SOS monofilament is far superior more superior than Berkley Trilene XL although can be found for relatively the same price point because it curls less allowing for a smoother and farther cast and it is stronger.”

“I was previously using 6lb Berkley Trilene XL smooth cast monofilament and it was fine fishing line. I decided to switch because I launched a rooster tail into orbit when a Trilene knot slipped off at the swivel. I found that the line itself was very stretchy under pressure and I fish with no barbs so I had a fish get loose when I unloaded the rod while reel”

“I fish with 4-6 lb test Berkley Trilene XL Smooth casting on a 7' ultralight Ugly Stik.”

“Trilene XL is totally fine. I switched to braid many years ago because I prefer the way it handles over mono, but there is nothing wrong with Trilene”

“a $10 spool of Berkley trilene XL will treat you well.”

“It performed as expected coming off both casting and spinning reels easily and with few memory issues especially when freshly spooled. Sensitivity is average for a nylon monofilament which is to say not very good”

“I think the line is bad”

“There's nothing wrong with Trilene, but if you don't try something a little better you'll never know if the difference means much to you.”

“Get some 10lb Berkley Trilene XL. Basic but casts well and is up to the fight IMO.”

“For mono I love Berkley Trilene XL. I am trying Berkley Sensation this year and so far I like it. But Trilene XL has been my go to since the 90s.”

“I use clear Trilene XL in the Quetico....don't know if it is the best but it has worked for me.”

“Berkley Trilene XL smooth casting is limper and cast well. Plus it is low-cost. It has fewer loops and memory compared to most other lines.”

“I used to LOVE TrileneXL. Had it on all my reels. It casts a mile... Here's the thing. Long casts = more water coverage, more water coverage means putting bait in front of more fish... But that line has stretch. And if something hits on a really long cast - that stretch comes in to play. It's hard to get a good hook set on Bass.”

“Berkley Trilene XL is a must have for any mono setups. I’ve been using this line for over a decade now, and it is now my most trusted mono line for sure!”

“I know its old tech, but i prefer berkley trilene xl monofilament on my spinning reels.”

“I prefer Berkley Trilene XL for my mono.”

“I hate it for ultralights and only use 4lb. Berkley Trilene XL monofilament for all ultralight fishing. That's what works the best for me (and it's pretty cheap, too.)”

“I’ve always used Berkley Trilene XL or Berkley Trilene Fluorocarbon. You can find it almost anywhere, has decent cast-ability, and usually not a bad price.”

“My go to bass setup: Berkley 6' or 6'6" medium heavy rod $30. Any shimano open face 2000 or 2500 size reel $30. Berkley trilene XL monofilimant 8lb test.”

“When you want to put line on the reel, you can't really go wrong with Berkley Trilene XL. About 8# test is a good all-around line for Minnesota lakes.”

“My go to line has always been Berkley Trilene XL. Very low line memory and decent strength. It also has a little bit of stretch in it, which I prefer.”

“8lb monofilament line but don’t get the cheap stuff (Berkley trilene xl is great)”
