Berkeley Fireline Crystal.

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Berkeley Fireline Crystal.

#1 Post by EoinMag »

Has anyone tried it out yet? Is it worth the price or would you say braid is better if it's gonna cost that much?
Any advice much appreciated, thanks.

Haven't heard about this B.F. Crystal stuff, and I love Fireline for all-round angling. Must go google......

Had a google. :D

Looking at the specs, it seems to me to be ordinary Fireline. Maybe I've never noticed the "crystal" tag on the box before.

Anybody got a box of Fireline handy to double-check?

i have it on a new boat reel i got at christmas. It is basically the same as normal fireline but it appears white on the spool, but clear in water, or so it says i havent had a chance to test this yet. not bad for the money i paid £21 for a 125yd spool.
