I use Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament (20lb. test) when fishing for walleye from shore on the Missouri river in North Dakota. Conditions are very tough on fishing line because you have to drag through various obstacles such as rocks, weeds, willow trees, etc. This line does the job as well as can be expected under these conditions and it will take a lot of damage without snapping. It does get more "memory" than some other monofilament lines I've used, but nothing so bad as to prevent me from continuing to use it. I use this line on spinning and spincasting reels without any problems. The last walleye I caught in 2010 was just over 10 lbs. and I was glad I had Big Game on my reel.

I like this line so well I bought two more spools.

this line is good i read other reviews saying it was bad line if your going to order 30 pound test line like i did make sure you got at least a size 50 reel using thick line on a small reel wont work with any line. this is better then the stren line i had before recomend this line to people that know how to fish

This is my favorite line for catfishing. I've caught plenty of big cats with it with no problems. Even after getting rolled around on the rocks, it may be frayed but it has never broken. I tried braid for a while, too many breaks from getting sliced on the rocks, came back to the Big Game mono.

Big Game works well, has good knot strength, has low memory, behaves well during casts on baitcasting and spinning reels, has good abrasion resistence, and is very affordable. I have used 10 to 15 lb Big Game for freshwater school size striped bass and saltwater calico bass with no problems. I have also used 20 to 60 lb Big Game for multi-day Baja trips for tuna and yellowtail also with no problems. When you go on multi-day baja trips you end up spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the trip, fish cleaning, tips, etc. Using Big Game line is a good way to get good quality line at an affordable price. There are lines out there that might be better and cost way more but also might have too much memory (too stiff) or perform strangely during casts (i.e,Maxima, Izorline). Big Game is user friendly, likely wont let you down, and wont break the bank.

Very good product, I bought the 20 lb test, and caught a 3 foot bluefish with it. It's cheaper in local Walmart.

this is a very good fishing line ..and i know because last time i was fishing and i caugth a big fish
but the line i was using was not good enough and the fish broke the line that's why i change to berkley .. ang in here they have good deals..
have fun fishing

I still did not try this line but it looks excellent and for the value you can't beat that.
I am used to buy Berley stuff so I am sure this one will also be great

Absolutely wonderful as a crafting tool and for hanging Christmas ornaments since it is strong and almost invisible. It's one of those things that once you have it you wonder how you ever lived without it!

This is a good line for everyday fishing, but I'm not sure I'd want to use it in a tournament. It seems to me that it is a little stronger than its rated 15 pound test. I tested it by tying it to a 15 lb. dumbbell and using it to lift the dumbbell. While the line was holding the weight of the dumbbell, I added two 4 oz. sinkers to the load, bringing the weight to 15.5 lbs. and the line didn't break.

the line works good just as it is suposed to I have no problems with it what so ever. what else do you say about fishing line
