to be honest, never think most products of berkley are good ideas to buy. I hope it is only my opinion, however, it might be not!

I mean since you have so many choices, why berkley? Ask how many guys here are using fireline instead of PowerPro. How many guys here are using Gulp worm or Bat Wing Frog instead of Zoom Tricky Worm or honny toad....

IMO, Cajun Red cast is a better choice.

i used low vis big game for many years and have switched to power pro

Well.... I used berkley line most of my life. Until the last 2 years or so, then I switched to PowerPro, only because i don't like mono anymore, and PP is the best line I have ever used.

And Yes, Big Game is a very good line. It makes a very good crankbait mono, and it was my first choice for many years, then it became hard to find so I used Trilene XT.That is, being mono, it's a good line.

I use Big Game all the time for different things. I have 15lb spooled on a reel now that I use for T-Rigs and Jigs. Pretty tough stuff.

I only use it on my baitcaster. The one time I used it on my spinning reel, the line jumpped off the spool as soon as I opened the bail. The line was so knotted up that I couldnt use that rod that day...

i use power pro on my flipping rods and fluro on a rods that i use 8 lb. test. but the rest are big game.

It's complete crap.

bassking22 · 06-27-06, 10:58 AM

i have been using it on my 2 baitcasters but my personal favorite line is the spiderwire 10lb stealth bc it has no memory whatsoever but the big game is a great line and so is stren but imo spiderwire stealthis the best but ive heard alot about cajun redcast so ill try that next

Ok though, Just personal experience. However, if you could catch tons of fish on Berkley gulp or powerbaits, you definitely could catch 2 TONS OF FISH on Zooms' and Yums.

I'll disagree with you when it comes to Triline XL but agree 100% when it comes to Iron Silk.

Haven't used Big Game in a long time, but it is good line.

bassintom · 06-27-06, 09:27 PM
