Izorline Platinum

cassidyta · 05-01-09, 11:57 PM

Has anyone used it? A buddy of mine game me a spool because he somehow managed to buy 25lbs test on accident. (i have no clue how he did that) I am considering putting it on one of my swim bait rods, but was curious what you all thought of it.
I tried to google some reviews, but really couldn't find much. Of course, after page one on the search I figured just ask here.

i REALLY have never heard of it 3d. you keeping secrets? lol.

The Doc · 05-02-09, 11:19 PM

I've used it. I have a buddy that's on their pro staff. It works well. It's probably my 2nd favorite line. If Sufix stopped making line, that's what I'd use. Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

bamabassman · 05-03-09, 09:56 AM

ok, where do ya get it? com'on now.........GIVE! is it mono? flour? WHAT?

cassidyta · 05-03-09, 10:37 AM

I spooled it on a calcutta 400B which is mounted on an 8 foot swimbait rod. It performed just fine. No serious memory issues with it. The knot (palomar) did not show any signs of slipping nor wear after a couple of 4 lbs fish were landed. I retied anyways since the lure on the end of the line cost more than I want to risk with a bad knot. It will take a few more trips to make a determination, but so far it is okay.

I found some reviews on it.It sounds like it a Co-Polymer.It sounds like a good line.

cassidyta · 05-03-09, 01:35 PM

Thanks Freaky. It is a co poly. I had not used one before, so I am not sure to what to compare it. Compared to my 25 and 30 lbs mono it is not too bad.

I picked up a spool from Fishing ProTech last year. Lin recommended the line so I picked up the 15lb green and have used it on a couple rods. Hasn't let me down yet so I continue using it. Can't complain about the price either, 1500 yards for $10. He cut me a slight discount since I put him in touch with a custom rod builder. His normal show price is $14.

I've posted before that I've been using it. You must not be paying attention there Bama. You got a little ADD going on?

Or maybe a little OldTimer's?

bamabassman · 05-03-09, 05:58 PM

I would but you'd probably forget by the time you got done reading it so what's the point?

bamabassman · 05-03-09, 06:57 PM

ok..............................................

From their website.....
"IZORLINE PLATINUM CLEAR & GREEN & HI-VIS YELLOW MONOFILAMENT
PREMIUM COPOLYMER MONOFILAMENT-SIMPLY THE BEST!"
So it's got to be true.

It's good tough line and casts well. I use it on baitcasting so I don't know how it does on spinning reels. I haven't had any major problems with it. Also the 15lb comes in 840 yard spools not 1500 like I thought but the 10lb does.

cassidyta · 05-03-09, 07:49 PM

I have found that it is stiffer than most mono lines. I throw suffix on my mono rigs. I do think that it is way more abbrasive resistant than the suffix. Since I am using this for swimbaits, I often have the hooks against the line whie trying to twitch the bait. While this will sometimes nick the mono, the Izorline showed no nicks at all.

BassinID · 05-03-09, 08:15 PM

I've used it on steelhead, it seems like a good line to me, good knot strength and the high vis is the ticket for side drifting.

The Doc · 05-03-09, 09:04 PM

Bama, you can get it from Tackle Warehouse. I am very suprised that for how well this line works that it's relatively inexpensive. I've had it spooled on my T rig rod for a month, and it has not shown that much memory. I can still get a weightless senko to cast a mile with it. Usually when I use something like Berkley Big Game or Trilene, I have to change it about once every month or so because it won't perform after a couple days of sitting on the spool.
