View Full Version : Iron Silk for trolling?
Was wondering if anyone has tried it. Would appreciate any info, thanks in advance.
While I have not used it for trolling, I can give you my impressions about the line in general. I use the high vis on a couple jigging rods.
If you would have asked me a couple months ago, I would have told you it was great. But that is no longer the case. It seems to get weak very fast. My experience would be that you'd need to respool every month or so.

I agree with PTC. The line got weak way too fast in my opinion. I'll never use it again.

You'd be bringing a pea shooter to a gun fight.

I like Berkley stuff, but they need to improve the Iron Silk.
Big Game for trolling cranks is still a winner in my book.

I took it off two spinning reels because it was so unmanageable. Maybe the most overated product in the last couple of years? I really like 12 and 14 lb Sensation when I use mono.

What is it you like about the Sensation ? I've heard this is good line but never any particulars...

I fish for bass and pike alot and I have the 14lb Sensation on two of my baitcast reels. I like it because it is low stretch and it flie's off the reel. It is also just slightly larger in diameter than 10 lb XT, so I can use the same rods for flatline trolling cranks, slabbing and pulling bouncers. That way I get double duty out of my baitcasting rods.
