Iron Silk line

[Hooked]

Was thinking of picking up a spool Berkley Iron Silk. I knew someone who had it when it first came out, and from I saw of it, wasn't impressed. Frayed alot, broke often.....Was wondering if anyone has tried the new and so called improved one at all?

Hopefully Berkley improved it but after I bought it when it 1st came out I swore I'd never buy it again. Cheap line at K-Mart was better than that stuff.

I use 8 pound test Ironsilk for fishing smallies and i never had a problem with it but i had the occasional break off but that was my fault i would forget to check my line for abrasions.

I spooled up with it a few times when it first came out and thought it was a great.. until it went bad on the reel and my 8lb morphed into 2lb. The sun seemed to get to it fast - that's the only thing I can figure happened as it decayed like mono would but only after a month or two of light use.

 

I noticed the "new and improved" stuff last year and my first thought was they must have fixed it, but I haven't tried it yet.

works good for me on my centerpin, fish alot of wood and haven't had a problem yet, great in the cold weather too!!.... i only use suffix elite and poer pro on my spinning/baitcasting rigs tho, not suer how well it holds up in them situations..
