Anyone using the heavier Berkley Fireline with good results? I've used the
light stuff and it seems okay until your reel packs up and then you have
to cut the stuff to get to unsnarled line. How about the heavier Fireline?
Same problems?




I use the 30 lb, not crazy about it compared to the others, but the 30 lb
does not seem to back up too much, but I am careful not to free-spool the
stuff. I troll only with it so it really does not get much of a chance to
back-lash.

I've had no problems trolling the 50lb stuff, although I use 80lb monofilament
for leaders so I don't cut my fingers off!
