Anyone have any berkley trilene solar collector green line in 15lb. test? If so, wondering if I could get some for some sighters? I found some on the web but it was $20.00 with shipping.

I only have it in 8 lb. I use it at the bottom of my sighter. I find it difficult to see as it does not stand out as the red amnesia and gold stren.

Some time ago, I bought some at Gander Mountain for pretty cheap. However, I do agree with Mike that the Gold Stren is easier to see.

Hey John:

I couldn't find the Berkley either (nice link though, Jay) so I bought Ande "Envy Green." --- They must have greeting card authors name this stuff.

Anyway if you want me to mail you a few yards to check it out, let me know. I'm happy to do that. I have a lifetime supply on one spool.

Enjoy the day.

Domenick, how is that compared to the golden stren? I'll take some, is it 14lb. test?

Domenick Swentosky · « **Reply #5 on:** April 09, 2010, 08:41:25 PM »

John, actually no, it's 8#. But I'm still glad to send some to you. Let me know.

Like the other guys said. The Hi-Vis Gold Stren is much more visible than this green too. Only thing that I've found that beats it is Amnesia and a pink flouro that Cabelas used to sell. Suffix makes a chartreuse that is maybe a bit more visible to my eyes than the Stren. But after a bunch of experimenting and buying way too much colored mono, I use the Stren for the coil itself. But my experience in fishing the curly is limited. I mostly prefer a backing sighter.

Enjoy the day.

Guess, I stick with what I have, thanks for the advice.

John,

If you want me to mail you a few yards of the berkely, let me know - I'll be happy to do so. It is 10lbs. strength. Sorry, I didn't offer that in the first place. It took Domenick's nice manners, to trigger the thought to offer in my thick-head

You can send me a PM with your address if interested

Jay

Jay, thanks anyways I have some in 10 lb., I wanted some in 14lb. or higher for the coil part of the sighter, because it holds the memory better.

I personally like the combination of the Solar and the Stren gold. They seem to cover most of the light conditions that I have encountered. I only have the solar in 10lb.

That's been my favorite too. I think the Pink Cabelas would add to it... but I've been too lazy to tie some up
