KastKing Tripolymer Advanced Monofilament Fishing Line - ¼ LB Filler Spools Mono Line, High Strength, Highly Abrasion Resistant, Super Smooth, Low Light Refraction, Tri-Extrusion Advanced Fish Line

Strength - I have been using Berkley Sensation Copolymer 17lb green (0.015 diameter) and Berkley Vanish Fluorocabon17lb (0.015 diameter). Decided to order Kastking Tripolymer 25lb (0.015 diameter), and 30lb (0.016 diameter) in Green and Clear. Immediately did my own breaking strength tests. My tests consisted of tying Palomar knots to a hook; connecting it to a fish scale; and slowly pulling down. I was only able to reach 22.8lb (0.015 ; 25lb), ... and 24.9lb (0.016 ; 30lb) breaking points. BUT however, that's fine with me!! I'm very happy with results like that. That's damn good breaking strengths for 0.015 and 0.016 diameter lines. I may do more testing with the 0.016 ; 30lb. I'll update this if I can reach 30lb.Fishing - So far, I've caught a lot of Bass with the KK Tripolymer Green, and Clear. The Green blends in with the river so well, that I lose sight of the line. I literally have to trace the line from the rod tip to see where I even threw the lure. So, if you rely on line movement before setting the hook, you'll find the green very hard to see. But, that's alright with me. Hell, if I can't see it, I'm sure fish can't either. LoL!! The Clear is easy to see. You can count of this KK Tripolymer Clear giving Fluorocarbon a run for it's money. Both the green and clear sank better in water than pure Mono does - which I like a lot.Line Memory - I don't know why manufacturers advertise "low line memory". If you spool up a baitcaster with Mono or Fluorocarbon, you're gonna have some degree of line memory IF it sits around a couple weeks unused. It's just the beast of the nature. Braid is the only line with no memory, but even braided line has its pro & cons.Knot - I used Palomar knots for my testing. The line broke during my tests, not the knot. I haven't tested the FG knot with either Berkley (Sensation & Vanish), or Kastking Tripolymer. But I'm confident both lines will hold up really good with the FG knot.Abrasion tests - I didn't do any abrasion tests, but this KK Tripolymer feels very solid, stiff, and strong.Casting - KK Tripolymer casts really good. I'm surprised at how well the 0.016 diameter casts. It casts just as good as the 0.015 line does. I'm now conflicted between these two lines.Overall - I do think Kastking is on the right track with this new Tripolymer. You can not beat the price and yardage you get! Knots hold up well, and the line is tough. I WILL be buying more of the Green and Clear 0.015 and 0.016 diameters. I'm giving up Berkley Sensation and Vanish for this KK Tripolymer. Berkley's price is just too much for 250yds, so y'all there at Kastking.... better not increase this price of $10.99 for a 1//4 spool. People need this line, and the price too.

I got this line to mainly try out an alternate to mono. Comparing this line (10lb test was what I ordered in green) to Berkeley Trilene 10lb clear mono, I have to say this stuff works very well. It was easy to spool, but it was on a 2600+ yard spool so it should’ve gone one well regardless. It feels thinner than the trilene, it sinks in the water, and doesn’t stretch either. It feels like an in between mono and fluoro. I did have a hook break off twice. Once after landing a fish, and second time on a cast. I think that maybe the several fish I caught might’ve weakened that point in the line, but was still pulling 1.5-3.6lb bass out no problem. It’s going to take more than a couple breaks after several hours fishing to get me to know for sure, but for the money this line is working great. I was running this line by itself on my reel, not as a leader.

Read up and this is really good line for the money and ratings.

I live on a very clear brackish freshwater lake with a heavy barnacle infestation and lots of big bass. I hate throwing braid on a baitcaster so I was needing a good mono line. 15lb was too light and 20 too heavy and it's hard to find good 17lb mono. I have always been a Berkley Big Game guy when it came to mono. But the price was right so I gave it a try. It's very strong, but not stiff. Stretch is mininimal and the line has great abrasion resistance. The diameter is more like 12lb than 17lb. The quality is excellent! I will be buying more of this!

I needed a fishing line for my catfish rods and this definitely became a new favorite. Very easy to cast and smooth on the reels. Very versatile and works great for carp fishing also. To top it off the price was amazing.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have used co- polymer lines and thought the tri polymer would be even better. Unfortunately, this line was disappointing in strength. I bought 15 lb. test, previously using 12 lb., and felt this broke easily when hanging up. I did not have a pull scale, but weighed a small toolbox at 12 lbs. I tied this to the handle and attempted to lift the box. It broke repeatedly before the box moved. My 12 lb P-line would lift the box without issue. Bass Pro Excel 12 lb line would start to lift before breaking. This is a thinner line at .011", but nowhere near it's 15 lb. Test. I am returning as defective.

Good abrasion resistance. Good casting, overfilled my spools on purpose, no wind knots. I'm using this line on my van staal 200 and some cheap kast king reels for saltwater inshore and surf fishing. I'm using 12, 17, 20, 25, 30lbs of this line. I buy alot of stuff from this brand and all iv gotten is an offer for a cupon for line and sunglasses, unfortunately the better deals are on Amazon.
