Line for Penn 525

Looking someone to point me in the right direction for a quailty line to suit my reel (525mag).....theres so many out there im confused :roll: :roll: ....using leeda line at the moment but its obvious that this stuff is cheap and nasty...suggestions greatly appreciated

Stephen

I use suffix tritanium on mine, it seems to lie nicely on the reel and have no complaints with any other aspect of it.

Cheers Seniabo .....ill give this one a try it has to better than what i use at the momement :wink: :wink:

Try Penn super surf, I saw it in a review in sea angler last year. It is fairly inexpensive. I use it on a Supermag without any drama.

Red Ice is all I'm hearing about now adays...

Nooooo way

Just took it off 4 reels ... very poor abrasion resitance, prone to breaking on the retrieve

Berkley Triline. 0.35mm = 19.5lb breaking strain!

Tried alot of others and keep coming back to this stuff, great fishing line.

One shot spool perfectly fill a 525 - 330 yrds for £4.

try the new sakuma line mate,ghost line , or as lee says trilene all good stuff.if you want it for rough ground try daiwa sensor very good and not to expensive.

I usually use Daiwa Sensor, Never have any problems with it... 8)

(1000th Post! Woowhoo!)

Congrats on the 1000 posts k2, Usually use 15lb Daiwa Tournament on mine have had no problems whatsoever with it, I use tapered leaders (also Daiwa 15lb tip) and find that if pulling for a break these usually snap before the main line about 6 inches or so down from knot.

I use Ultima F1 on all my reels and never have a bit of bother. I know it's quite expensive but if you look on ebay sometimes you can pick it up fairly cheap. I really think you get what you pay for. :lol:

2nd choice would the new Imax line. 15lb is only .30 and it cast great too. It has good abrasion resistance also. :D

3rd choice as Pat said. Penn surf: £10 per spool but if you buy 2 spools you get a 3rd free. You can also mix and match the breaking strains if you want. :)

Red Ice - no way - too brittle for multiplier.

Diawa Sensor - 18lb good stuff - seems to be brids nest resistant as well :shock: :shock:

Diawa Tournament - 15lb good stuff

The Diawa line is medium priced - well worth a look.

Just shows how different we all are, I have removed Berkley and Sensor from reels, and while I am happy with Super surf i am looking for a second brand I like. Keep on searching.

I'm using Live Fibre TX braid, 100% Dyneema 30lb,this is .26mm,fits lovely on the reel,doesn't stretch and no abrasion,and no tangles yet,if it's not broken don't fix it I suppose,a bit pricey though,around 25 Euro for 270m,1 spool.

ultima - would use f1 or red ice again, distance ok
berkely big game, good
fladen stark , cheap and good
daiwa sensor or tournament, never had any problems
shakespeare - never got on with it
greylon, will know soon
berkeley iron silk good for rough ground
may have forgot some but they are the most ive recently tried

Just bought some bulk spools of Sakuma .31 14lb
its identical to daiwia tournament and about a qaurter of the price


Andy

using greylon and new prologic stuff at the minute...very happy :D :D

Diawa Tournament 15lb is what i use on my 525 mag with Diawa Tournament shock leader the taperd stuff.
tho might start useing braid soon still use Diawa Tournament shock leader tho

im using the diwia tapered stuff meself i must say i like it
