Quick take
100% fluorocarbon leader line nearly invisible underwater, with exceptional shock and knot strength.
Berkley's Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon in clear is a 17-pound line sold on 200-yard spools, built for anglers who want a clear line for wary fish. The fluorocarbon construction suits leaders and finesse presentations for bass and walleye. The same line also comes in strengths from 6 to 25 pounds, so the 17-pound spool fits heavier cover and larger fish.
Best for
- Terminal leader material for wary fish
