Triple Fish has been a hard line to get in CA for many years. TW is now carrying both the camo versions, the floro, and the RX Spinning. The pricing on the line is extremely reasonable, especially the floro. For the past year or so I have been fishing a 2.5'leader of 25lb floro on my daytime swimbait setups and it's been bulletproof. You can pick up 125 yards of 25lb floro for $11.99, that is tough to beat. I tie a blood knot for the leader connection and a san diego jam knot to the lure.

Rob,

Jiust out of curiosity have you used or heard anything on the Cabelas camo line. Just wondering how it compares to the triple fish.

The RX spinning has been my favorite drop shot line for a while now the 10lb is not any thicker than 6lb great line!

Rob,

I am sure you have already answered this, but which of the triple fish camos is which? I was under the impression that one was brighter and one was a little more subtle.

Are there applications for each? What about other qualities like memory, etc, etc: does one perform better then the other; are the only differences between the two color?

I am looking for a new mono and was just looking for some feedback.

I really appreciate it.

Sacto John - I don't know about the OEM stuff. The Cableas line and the BPS saltwater camo line both look an awful lot like triple fish. It's probably the same stuff but I don't know for certain.

J hinds - The original camo is basically reddish/pale green/clear. The camo-escent is brown/pale green/flourescent/clear. I think that the original camo looks better in dingy water, whiskey color water, stuff like that. The camo-escent seems to look better in clear water. I fish both interchangeably, I don't really care too much about which one I use because I always tie to the clear or pale green section of the line.

These lines do have memory like any mono type line does. I fish my lines between 1 and 5 trips typically. All depends on how much I use it and how many times I get snagged, etc. I fish this line because it's reliable. I know it's properties, and I know it won't break for no reason. The camo lines have strength and they have real abrasion resistance. There are other lines that cast better and have less memory and last longer, but for the price of this line, you can respool all the time. A 1/4lb spool of 6lb test is 7 bucks and you could spool your spinning reels dozens of times off that. For me that's a good option because inevitably you get some burr or fray like 50 feet down the line and you have to respool. That hurts on expensive lines.

I am on the Triple Fish Pro staff if you did not know, and that is my wholly biased opinion ;) I fished the line for many many years before I got on the pro staff though, it's good stuff.

I have been fishing the t fish for a few months now and have no beefs compared to the maxi.The price is great too.Rob do you put a tiny bit of super glue gel on your blood knot,if not what are your thoughts of doing so?

I haven't used super glue on the knots, no. I go about 5 wraps in either direction for 25lb test on my blood knots. I cinch them very tightly, first from the main lines, then from the tag ends. I trim them about 1/16 of an inch once they are fully cinched down. I can cast like this no problem and reel it through the guides. I've been using the leaders so much, I've gotten used to casting with about the length of the leader coming off the tip of the rod.

What I find using the leaders and casting like this is that I don't have to retie nearly as often. If you're casting baits like huddlestons, optimums, or stocker trout, and espeically if you cast those baits repeatedly with only a foot or so of line off the tip of the rod when you start the cast, those baits are so heavy they can weaken your line right above the knot on regular mono. That's usually what happens when you hear guys talking about casting off their baits. The florocarbon doesn't seem to weaken like this and by casting with 2 to 3 feet of line off the tip of your rod in sort of a lob cast motion, you don't weaken the line.

It's stupid little stuff like this that takes a long time to realize is happening and it's this kind of stuff that will ultimately burn you on a big fish. You'll have everything all sweet, but you'll be casting for an hour or two and your line gets weak in the last 6" and then you hook the biggest fish you've ever seen and snap - seeya.
