    Default American Made Fishing Line


    Black Knight Industries, makes Gamma Polyflex Panfish fishing Line. They make it in Oil City Penna. Will be trying out their panfish line this year. The line is 6 lb, in optic yellow. dimension of line is .010, or 25 mm. This line is competition grade. It is a copolymer, which doesn't stretch like monofilament does. Was asked to start a thread here about it.

    Gamma LInes

    Since, this will be my first time to use it, would like others who have tried it to please comment.

    Info on box says: Higher breaking strength ( up to 2 times the stated size), casts longer with accuracy, more natural presentations, supple & abrasion resistance, and low coil memory.

    I have no relationship to the company.

    Decent line...but not made in USA. Their nylon and FC is made in Japan....then Gamma does a process to change the molecular structure. Their braid is made in USA.

    I have the 4lb and 6lb panfish line, 4 is ok but the 6 holds to much menory. I shot docks and just not for me. It won't break at its rated strenght but that may not be the main reason to use it.
