I have some rolls of this from fishing show . It is trilene big game clear 15 lb test is this good line ? Last year they gave away iron silk mess just want to check . thanks leo

never have used the clear, but the Big Game is great stuff.

I use 8 or 10 lb test when fishing for sandies

Bella-
8-10# is plenty for sandies & hybrid. I have caught 12-18# fish on the 10 pound with no problem. I even caught a 30 pund redfish on 12# big game.

bella have a bunch of it also from the fishing show and I have been using it and it works good. Had a black bass break the 12LB test on lake athens but it was fun losing him after I saw him jump out of the water.

If you want to have a little fun, put 4-6 lb. test line on your reel. You have to adjust your drag so they don't break you off, but you can let them run a little. It sure is a blast!!.

Mostly I use 6lb for sandbass. Here are the tradeoffs:
- Its really fun to fish sandies on a ultra-light outfit... They put up a good fight, and it make it more challenging than just cranking them in.
- Easy to lose your lures. With 6lb or less, its really easy to lose your lure when you get hung up on something that you could have pulled free from if you had heavier line. Usually at hubbard there isnt too much brush at the bottom, so its not a major factor. A bigger factors is that the line is more delicate. 6lb line easily gets knots and kinks that really weaken your line. You need to regularly check your line and knot to make sure they dont break off easily. I've lost slabs just when casting them when I havent checked them regularly.
