New to me line - Gliss

[Crestliner08]

Here's what 2# test Crystal did for me two days ago:



Took me a while to land her, but if you have good equipment, like the B n' M rod & reel that I recently won in the contest forum, you can land anything on this line. Here's a link to the entire post I recently made:

In all the years I've been using it, I've not had an issue with knots. I use the Alberto knot exclusively to tie on my fluoro leader material.

What pound test leader do you use? I'm thinking about using something that will break before the Fireline breaks, so I don't lose my main line.

Mike and I used the gliss yesterday and it cast’ almost as good as the nano and so far no issues. I did have to retire the nano a couple of times yesterday, some things just don’t change. A couple of gar and a bunch of bluegill at or over the 9” mark, all the lines held up well. It’s impossible to fish where I do without getting in the trees and I’m sure that’s what caused the weak spots that caused the nano to break. I have some 3lb fireline on the way, that’s my next comparison to do. Y’all have given it such good reports, I’m looking forward to it.

I just got the 2 lb crystal fireline in last week, so for... I love it. I can cast the GEKKABIJIN 1.5g jighead a mile,I'm thinking about putting on a #4 mono leader(fireline is much stronger than mono) so that will break, instead of the fireline.

I have used a 4lb Stren clear blue leader about 5’ since a dinner plate crappie turned and rubbed the nano and it parted. Don’t lose many fish from that anymore. Rubbing branches when I miss the water and go through a branch is more of a problem for me. Creates a weak spot and you know the rest. That 4lb is some pretty tough stuff.

Ok,I guess I'll go with the 4 lb Stren.I just hope it breaks before the fireline does, because this stuff is kinda expensive.

I just used the 8lb gliss for the first time this weekend. Not sure how it will hold up, but I really like how it handles. Cast great and was comparable to me to nanofil, but seemed more durable and it is cheaper.
