Anyone using the heavier Berkley Fireline with good results? I've

problems?

I don't either myself. Don't care for it. Tends to pack down and
it's a bitch to cut close to the knot - not to mention cutting your
fingers once in a while.

I much prefer Ande line in the heavier monofilament.

Easier to tie also.

I don't use Fireline, either. I just can't seem to get used to it,
too
many years fishing with mono, I guess.



I use Fireline exclusively now, for my conventional and spin reels. I

like the ability to feel even the smallest nibble. I first used the
line
in Florida when I was trying to catch sheepshead off the Jax jetties
in
Mayport. It made a difference, because the sneaky devils have a
really
light bite.

One of the best tasting fish in Florida waters.

I just can't get used to it. I'm not used to the way it casts, and
feels. I've still got in on a couple of striper rigs, but for slack
lined type of bass fishing, I can't get used to it.
