[October 19, 2006]Berkley Vanish Transition LineThink about how many baits a bass sees during a day on a crowded lake. Wouldn't an ace in the hole be nice? Low visibility fluorocarbon could load your deck. Berkley claims the line's bright gold color appears in the sun's bright light but quickly vanishes underwater. Even with the added stiffness of fluoro, my knots pulled down tight and my casts proved clean. But is it invisible to the fish? I had a hard time seeing it under the water's surface. The bass weren't afraid to eat up either.

[March 1, 2002]Buoyant SpiritWhy buy a float marker? It seemed to me that an old bleach bottle would work perfectly. To test this theory, I pit my float bottle against Seaccon Marine's new float marker, The Bomb.
Ten drop and retrieves proved the larger-diameter bleach bottle had a shorter average reel-in time of 35 seconds versus The Bomb's 42 seconds. But that edge melted away when line spilled off the bottle, requiring six minutes to untangle. The Bomb is shaped like a large spool, so 120' of 130-pound test line can't fall off.
