Title: Asari High Tech Titanium Line Review
Post by: whalebreath on June 09, 2017, 11:47:27 PM
Do Not buy this stuff OK!?

DO NOT!!

I bought some over the winter because the formulation sounded interesting  but my experience has been 100% negative and it hasn't even hit the water yet!

That's right just tying a few Hootchies/snelling hooks/Apexes the stuff breaks when I wrap it around my hand-OK I'm pulling like hell but you're supposed to and this so-called 22.35kg  line is breaking like 4 kg product.

Here you see a pic of the spool it's next stop is the garbage.

I don't know why line makers need to call their line Titanium.
There is nothing further from the truth.
I do however recommend a line from Sufix called Tritanium.
It is a very abrasive resistant copolomer line.
I use it on my 12/0's exclusively. It is the best thing I've come across for abrasive resistance.
The only thing better is this Home Made Cherry Pie my Mother in Law made me for my Birthday Today. ;)
I adore a good home made Cherry Pie. She knows that. ;D
Life is Good!
