Berkley Sensation
I've had good luck with Sensation. I use the high-vis green all the time here on the Mississippi River and it's tough, thin, and has good abrasion resistance. Just filled the 100DC with 12# and heading for the river. I also like the 6# and 8# on spinning gear. Good stuff and underrated in my opinion.

Good stuff. I use the 4lb in lo vis green. The damn line SHOOTS through the guides and it's great for casting distance! But no so good for wind knots especially with spinning gear. Do you fish in places with a lot of cover weeds or rocks? The reason I ask is because I've noticed It's not very abrasion resistant or maybe it's just that I use such light line. Knots hold very well, I don't think I've broken off at the knot I've fished it for about a year and a half. It's a pretty good deal at about 2 cents per yard and yes it's underrated.
Re: Berkley Sensation
I use 4lb on my ultralight and 8lb on another spinning rod and I've had a lot of success with this line. Wind knots have never been an issue for me, though I've never really had any problems with any line on my spinning gear. I still prefer my P-line for overall strength and abrasion resistance, but Sensation does cast great and holds knots very well.
Re: Berkley Sensation
What are you using this line for smalleyez? I've always been curious about it myself.
Re: Berkley Sensation
I use the 6-8 jigging for walleyes. I use the 12 for pitching jigs/senkos to smallies. I guess I have to be careful about saying it's great for everything, but I've had good luck with it and it's never broken at the wrong time. Love the high-vis here on the river!Bassboss wrote:What are you using this line for smalleyez? I've always been curious about it myself.

Re: Berkley Sensation
I like Sensation has it has high tensile strength and lower stretch than most monos/copolomers. According to Berkley its' abrasion resistance is on the low end of their lines.
Re: Berkley Sensation
Just finished the last of a 3,000 yard spool of 8 pound clear which we use on spinning rigs. Good bang for the buck with the bulk spool and does very well on 2500 sized reels. Since I have to order the bulk spools 8 pound is the only size that I will use that much in a couple of years. I also use the 15-17 for heavier applications and it works well for that too. Yes I do notice some nicks here and there but do not think It has cost me a fish. I do check it on every fish and retie often anyway with all lines.

I had problems with knot/shock stregth when I tried it for worm fishing years ago.
