I've read about this Crystal Fireline, but i've never actually seen it. I'd be interested in personally having a look at it to see what all the fuss is about. I know Al Linder sponsors the stuff, and he's a pretty decent angler. I just wonder if he is talking it up because they are one of his sponsors, or because it's actually a good product.
Honestly, i've tried the regular fireline stuff, and I wasn't impressed. I thought is was wirey and hard to work with. I'd much rather use one of the high quality super braids of today than a wirey line. But, it's been a long time since i've tried fireline, and it may be a lot better than when I tried it previously.
Now fluorocarbon, on the other hand, does work. Not only is it nearly invisible under water, it has much less stretch and seems to hold up better to abrassion. I use high quality fluoro like Seagar all the time in salt and freshwater applications. [
