Trilene big game 40 pound test ?

[southwales]

Where can I get this in uk ?

I am making my rig bodies and snoods out of 40 pound amnesia and they will snap before the Trilene if I get it in a forty and at this strength its still thinner than 30 pound sensor.

Hi Southwales,

Summerlands have got some on offer at the moment at £7.49

Their website is www.summerlands.co.uk

Hope this helps.

Cheers Derek

40lb, in my opinion, is a bit too light for rig bodies mate. The rig body is the first thing that gets rubbed against rocks etc and needs to be able to withstand that AND haul a fish out. I personally use 60lb bodies unless it\'s for a pulley rig and then I up the body to 100lb, along with using larger and stronger swivels.

Berkley trilene electric blue

berkley 30 pound is supposed to be 0. 56 diameter

My tackle shop has them 0.46 diameter

Agree with Mike, minimum 60lb for me.

mike r how do you tie knots in 100lb line m8 i tryed 80lb and found it a swine to tie knots i use 60 and find it spot on

 

[MikeR]

I use a grinner knot with three turns at both stages. This holds fine and has never slipped. Just to make sure that it doesn\'t come undone even if it does slip I use a lighter the burn a blob in the tag end of the line. A pair of pliers is essential for tightening.

ahh reet m8 i use a 4 turn ginner ile try a 3 turn m8 cheers

berkley have had the efta test done on all there line that is why it has a weird breaking strian of say 38.4lb the old 50lb used to snap at about 75lb.the big game lads used to love for that reason.
