Berkley Trilene Big Game Fluorocarbon Leaders

Convenient To Use, Exceptional Leader Material

Monofilament leaders for off shore needs have been the norm for decades but now there is a fluorocarbon leader that lives up the demands of these big game anglers. Berkley’s Trilene Big Game Fluorocarbon leaders convey an invisible line to the bait.

Big Game Fluorocarbon also delivers the durability and crimp strength necessary to keep the angler and the fish in battle until the fight is won. Available in wrist spools and coils to always be at the ready for ease of use.

Berkley Improved Trilene Sensation

Secret Technology Produces Highest Strength-per-diameter Monofilament

The new Multi-Polymer technology from the scientists at Berkley has produced a formula for monofilament unmatched in the industry. Improved Trilene Sensation has characteristics found only in monofilaments with significantly larger diameters.

 

Improved Sensation, considered a micro-diameter mono, is ultra strong wet or dry. Most monofilaments lose a little strength when wet. However, the wet strength of improved Sensation is as strong as dry original Sensation. And the knot strength proves reliable and secure when handling tough fighting fish.

 

The incredibly thin line provides longer and more accurate casts, even for lighter baits. New Multi-Polymer Technology for ultra strong,

thin and sensitive monofilament, wet strength superior to other monofilaments.  More bites are detected with this highly sensitive monofilament yet the roughest fishing situations are no problem with the improved abrasion resistance.

Freshwater and Saltwater Multi-species

Lb Tests: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 20
