How exactly is FireLine different than all other superlines? We asked, and here's what we found out from Clay Norris, Berkley's senior marketing manger of fishing lines:
- FireLine's fibers are thermally fused. Other lines are just braided.
- This means FireLine has "smooth castability. It behaves more like a mono. It has a certain degree of stiffness that allows it to come off the reel better, so it's by far the best superline for spinning reels."
- There's no other thermally fused superline, and Berkley has a patent on FireLine.
So there you go. You want a superline that responds off the reel like mono, check out FireLine. If you want a superline that's translucent, try FireLine Crystal.
> Note: Berkley uses top-of-the-line, highest-grade Dyneema fibers for all its superlines. Norris said: "We work hard to source the best and most consistent materials. This stuff's not easy to get."
