Customer Reviews for Berkley Berkley® Trilene XT® Extra Tough™ Line - 330 Yards

Berkley Berkley® Trilene XT® Extra Tough™ Line - 330 Yards

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 Extra Tough 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.

Junk

Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Performance, Durability, junk
"Used this line for years but recently the line has been junk. Brand new line twists up and no matter what you do it stays that way. Have switched to XL with hopes of better performance. If this doesn't work I will leave Trilene forever!!!!!!!!!!!!"

worst fishing product of all time

January 29, 2012
By abufan
Advantages: great if you enjoy being mad
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Performance, Durability, every possible thing
"I bought 8 pound for an orra sx to replace zebco line.
After i had completed spooling I grabbed the end to tie a knot and the line (not kidding) literally exploded off the reel. After fixing that mess i found that it casts worse and tangles more than 3 dollar zebco basic mono (WOW). This line is so bad it was actually backlashing on a spinning reel. XT=xtra tangly. but wait. . . there's more. It's also weak. In the middle of a fight with a very solid bass it snapped totally unprovoked. didn't wrap a tree or hit anything, no nicks in the line-just snapped. DO NOT BUY
(go with berkely nanofil)

Advantages: perfect waste of money.
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Performance, waste of money, tangles too often
"I have used Trilene in the past but not the XT. When I bought this stuff, i thought it would be great considering i had liked the Trilene I have used in the past. When I was loading my reel, the stuff was impossible to manage and was everywhere and got everything tangled in it. I have put line on my reels many times and never has this happened. Then when I tried it out, it just got tangled up after each cast, then after i fixed it and reeled it back in, there was a huge mass of this garbage UNDER the spool and all tangled in the bail. Never has this happened to me. I spent more time dealing with untangling this stuff than fishing. Save yourself a headache and don't buy this junk!"

For Carolina rig fishing.

,
March 23, 2011
By bitrdMan
"Over the years, I have found Trilene extra tough to be my go to choice for Carolina rigging as it has never let me down and takes a real licking without getting nicked up when fishing points and flats which are covered with rocks and weeds. A fourteen lb. test leader on the same rig allowed me to land a 32 lb. Flathead, my largest yet."

Best 4 & 6 lb line!!

,
March 6, 2011
By dglenn81
from alabama
Advantages: Performs well, Quality
Disadvantages: hard to get fluorescent color
"I've tried just about every 4 & 6 lb line out there, and this is the best I've found. It's super strong, consistent from spool to spool, and doesn't have much stretch. It also has very low memory and casts very well.
I have no problem pulling hung crappie jigs out of tree tops. The 6 lb is as strong as 10 lb and any other line I've used.
But stick to the XT, the other Berkley lines are no better than the rest."

Advantages: Performs well, Quality
Disadvantages: none
"Berkley is my go-to line for most situations. I use XT both my top water and my flipping rods. Most of my other rods are filled with Berkley XL. All they do is perform, haven't been let down yet."

Nice Line!

,
January 7, 2011
By Bassman94
from Harrisburg PA
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
Disadvantages: a little memory
"Just received the line today through UPS and spooled both my spinning and baitcasting reels up with the line. Feels really nice and 10 pound seems to be a nice size. I have used Berkley before this time instead of the XL line I am using the XT obviously. One thing I did notice and many others have too is that the XT line has some memory to it not a lot though. I think it will go away after days of fishing it! It feels ultra-abrasion resistant and should cast well. The XL casts very very well, but I don't know about the XT. Definitely buy it if you are on a low budget. 7 bucks may seem cheap for line, but it is worth every penny."

"I've been using Trilene XT 10# and 12# for years on my baitcast reels that I use for bass and pike. It has always been very reliable and incredibly tough. It's definitely not as limp as Trilene XL, but then again it was designed to be."
