Berkeley Fireline is a technological phenomenon because it might be the diameter of an 8 # test monofilament line, but Fireline will be a 20# test line. This means there are fewer "break offs" and with a 20# test line, the loss of lures to snags is lessened. You just pull the lure free.

This is a finely BRAIDED line, which is the secret of its tremendous strength. Visibility turns out not be a factor. However, if used for toothy fish such as Walleye or Pike or Muskellunge, a good 20# or 30# monofilament leader is an asset. Personally, I use a 40# monfilament leader.

Fireline can be connected to monofilament using a SAN DIEGO KNOT, which permits the connection to retain 95% of its original strength. (Knots are always the weakest link!)

There are other braided lines on the market. Most are quite good.

I have purchased this fishing string for bead weaving purposes. Berkeley manufactures this string with a different label for bead weaving purposes. After contacting the company I found that it was in fact the same as the fishing string. This string is excellent for bead weaving with size 15 or 11 seed beads, especially if you have to weave through a bead several times. The string is very strong and long lasting.

Because of the diameter, minimum stretch and great strength the 6lb Berkley Fireline is outstanding for all kinds of beadwork. The Berkley Fireline is the only line that I have found that offers the above combination.

Basically, no less opaque than the other colors. This is white and quite visible, although the color may be less offensive than say Green to the fish. Not sure. Anyways, the clarify aspect is overhyped. I've used thousands of yards of Fireline so I feel that I know the line pretty well.

This is the ONLY thread I use for my beadwork. This is simply the best price on the internet. Superior product at a stellar price. Bead shops really rip you off when it comes to purchasing FIRELINE, believe me, I know. I will be stocking up on this thread my next go round!! Thanks so much BERKLEY for offering this to us at such a great price.

I learned about Fireline through other beading friends and have been using it almost exclusively. It is very strong and smooth, which means it won't rough up the edges of more delicate beads or stones. It also can't be cut by rough edge materials.
Love it!!!

I must have for beaders that will like their work to stay put.

TIP:Although few color choices, you can paint it with a marker before using it if you would like it to blend better

This fireline is great for bead working using tubular beads. You can knot at the needle and size #15 beads will pass through!

I recommend this product for all bead projects.

Fireline is unmatched for strength in beading patterns where support and non-stretching is important. The only comparable thread is in limited supply because it is used in military flak jackets.

This comes in different weights,and colors,for various projects
in beading and crocheting. I have used it to make crocheted beaded and sequined belts too. You can purchase it in smaller amounts at beading stores for an outrageous price to test it if you like; then buy the mega spool at Amazon.

This fishing line is super-tough. It's micro-braided, so you can handle it just like an ordinary mono, and definitely not slippery unlike other braided ones, tying knots in this one is easy. Although it will curl a bit, I can't really say that it retains memory.
