The best of both XL and XT rolled
into one
Trilene Maxx: Hardcore readers know that more than 50%
of our field tests use Trilene. Why is that? Simply because this line is tough,
easy to use, and downright consistent. All of which allows us to gauge the
performance of a wide assortment of reels without worrying about how the line
affected our tests. So what is the new Maxx all about? This line is specifically
designed to have the castability of XL and the toughness of XT. This unique
blend should enable the Maxx to offer a never before seen combination of
strength, handling, and sensitivity in a Trilene line.
Stren Super Knot:
Pure fishing talked to anglers and consulted pros when it came time to introduce
new Stren offerings. The most requested features requested was easy castability,
extra strength, multi-application capability, and a line that doesn't cost an
arm and a leg. To address all these issues two new lines were created. First,
Stren's new "Super Knot" line is capable of taking more abuse while keeping
pressure on big fish. This line is specifically designed for superior knot
retention with all types of knots. It sure seems like an ideal line for those
expensive import lures.

better with all knot types
Stren Sinking Braid:
Superlines are growing in popularity for all types of fishing, and now they are
going application specific. Stren's new sinking braid does exactly like the name
implies...it sinks. While other braids float this line is designed for lures
that sink fast and deep. It has twice the strength of mono and all the
sensitivity we have grown to love in a braid.

Braid is great for lures that you want to go down fast
Berkley Vanish Transition:
Vanish has always been about stealthy presentation. If fish can't see it they
can't get line spooked. Transition is the most advanced Vanish line yet, and
actually physically changes color above the water so anglers can visually detect
more strikes. This is extremely useful for finesse fishing light lures and tiny
tubes for Crappie.
Vanish Transition allows you to detect
strikes easier than ever before by changing color outside of water
Berkley Fireline Crystal:
Still want more invisibility options? Do you fish Fireline? If you do the first
thing that probably comes to mind are the brand's traditional green lines.
Crystal is the first translucent superline for near invisibility underwater. You
still get that ultra thin diameter and great sensitivity but in a line that is
much clearer. In fact if it were any clearer you would think its a straight
mono.

superline
G-String is designed to be a premium high
performance Mono
Spiderwire G String: Spiderwire fans this is your year! Let's start it off
with an introduction to G-String. G-String is the first mono strong enough for
Gerald "G-Man" Swindle to put his name on. Its built ultra tough and is designed
for anglers who enjoy fishing serious structure. It remains strong even after
being submerged for long periods, and has a very high breaking strength. All
plusses for those willing to put their lure's in harms way while pursuing big
fish.
Spiderwire EZ Super Mono: EZ is all
about simple easy to use mono. This mono is very strong and is designed to be a
multi-purpose line for a wide range of applications. It is straightforward to
cast and has a very predictable and controllable stretch, making it a great
choice for anglers that use one rig for both plastics and hardbaits.
Want one line that can tackle multiple applications? EZ is designed to do just
that
Spiderwire Ultracast Braid: Most anglers know Spiderwire best for their
braids, and the new Ultracast is designed to be the best braid money can buy. It
is extremely durable yet both thinner and smoother than traditional braids. Pure
Fishing claims the line will both "Outcast and Outlast" the competition. In the
company's tests knot strength, casting distance, and breaking strength are all
very impressive when pitted against PowerPro. This is one line we will
definitely look forward to field testing and stressing on our own tester in the
TT lab.
