Customer Reviews for Berkley Berkley® Trilene XT® Extra Tough Line - 1000-Yard Economy Spool

Berkley Berkley® Trilene XT® Extra Tough Line - 1000-Yard Economy Spool

Built to deliver the super strength and durability needed when fishing around rocky ledges, heavy weeds, docks and rough brush piles, this abrasion resistant Trilene XT monofilament line excels in heavy cover. An excellent high-performing, low-memory line that casts very well and won’t put a large dent in your wallet, this mono line is designed to allow you to get away with some incredibly dicey casts.

A "go to" line.

Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I've been a big fan of Trilene XL for years but decided to give XT a try on my spinning rod as I was hunting smallies in the rocks. I bought 8 lb test and spooled up and headed out to one of my favorite spots which unfortunately has a "lure eating tree". Sure enough I got my brand new finesse jig caught and thanks to this line, I was not only able to get it back but I also pulled out a bird's nest of line, fluke, and small rapala crankbait (score!). I never would've thought a mono could handle that kind of abuse.
This line is thin in diameter, limp, casts very well, & transmits vibrations very nicely. I haven't had the memory problem some guys have complained about but if you make sure your bail is winding the line on the spool in the same direction the line is coming of its coil, that can help eliminate line twist. Also use firm but not tight tension on the line when you spool up."

"Although this line is very strong, it has a horrible memory problem. I would have rated it 1 except it is strong enough to straighten hooks, which saved me allot of time re-rigging."

It's only opinion after ten many times of trying what everyone else loves you will learn to feel out what you like best .

"its the best mono I have ever used, It can get cut up on rocks and still bring the big fish to the boat. On rods you don't use much it can stay on the spool for years. A+"

"I've been using Trilene XT for over 10 years now, and it has never let me down. I fish a lot of slop and heavy cover, and this line has performed every time. I have even landed 3+ pound bass and discovered a few nicks in the line in the first 6 feet after landing the fish. 14Lb is my go-to line, and we usually have to cut it if I do manage to get hung up. That, or I end up reeling the boat to the snag so I can get my lure out! Great line, great price, and I highly recommend 10Lb & up."
