bassfighter Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Anyone have problems with Spiderwire Fusion line, aside form the line getting some kinks. BPS was liquidating them last year at a steal and claim to be discontinued, My line broke for no appreant majoe reason while trying to land salmon.
evster Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 I was using it for a little while on a spinning reel. It was my first time using braid. I liked the sensitivity but found it frayed ALOT on both my reels. I like power pro alot better.
Greencoachdog Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Fusion is not a braid and it does fray and become weak in a short amount of time. It is junk as far as I'm concerned.
evster Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Fusion is not a braid That would explain why it sucked.
phat41 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 heyya...the fusion use to be a wicked line before their new production line in 2004. never frailed like this before. my buddy even sent spiderwire a comment but they never responded lol cheers h

I had it on all my reels for a few years, but stopped using it when they 'improved' it. I found the improved one was pretty unreliable.
bassfighter Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Posted September 22, 2007 I took off around 20 ft and took courage to try again, This time the line holds and I landed 3 more salmon with it couple of nights ago, one salmon male was huge over 20lb. I bought 5 pack at bass pro for $4, and it was a good deal then. I suspect that it is breaking where the knot was tied on, for I had made a knot, pulled it and it broke, and then tried retying again, and nothing happens, even landing the big salmon. One reason I tweak my lures using cheaper ones,in case I lose the lures as well.
singingdog Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 I would be interested in knowing what diameter you are using. Lots of folks, when they switch to superlines, go with the same lb test (8lb) as they were using when fishing mono. 8lb superline will be strong, but not very abrasion resistant. Buy it by diameter, not breaking strength. I will second the Powerpro reccomendation: much better line IMHO
