Gliss Green Fishing Line

I have fished with the 40lb version on five outings. I troll slow for pickerel, but use an aggressive quick snapping and pause technique. Braid does not hold up with out breaking off, and mono and Fluorocarbon stretch way too much.....This Gliss holds up and no stretch, mind you that is with the 40lb version. I have not broken off any lures as of yet, seen a little fraying and nicks but cut off a section and re tied, after catching a few fish or a good lengthy troll rubbing the rocky bottom. I will definitely buy this line, not for all my rods but, for sure this type of fishing.Next test it for musky fishing!!!!! Where it will get more abuse!!!!! But I am confident in using it at this point!

This has been my finesse line for 4 years and I see no reason to change. Exceptionally manageable, no memory, no stretch, sensitive, thin. You need to tie a good knot, and not all knots work equally well. Being thin for its rating, I do not go below 18/24#: you get more strength and durability + it is easier to tie.

I tried the 18 lb Gliss for the first time. I was surprised that all 150 yards fit on my reel. This line is extremely thin. Almost to the point of being too thin. It is hard to handle. Hard to tie knots. The end tends to fray when tying. See photo. Just handling the line and it tends to separate.On the positive side, I can cast a mile with this stuff. But, the line is so light that I had two instances where the line somehow hooked itself on an eyelet and it stopped abruptly when casting The line snapped and my leader and lure ended up in the lake. After a couple times, I was done with this line.Not to give up on the Gliss, I bought a spool of the 40 lb test. This line is easier to handle and tie. Not as thin as the 18 lb stuff, but, still plenty thin. This line casts just as well as the 18 lb stuff.I have noticed that the green coating does tend to wear off and it changes from a dark green to a light green.This line is plenty strong. Have caught a few nice bass and northern with this stuff. Hooked an underwater branch and pulled it in with no problems. I have noticed a couple knicks in the line near my leader. Will have to watch that carefully and cut the end off and retie the leader every so often.I miss my nanofil, but, overall, will stick with this Gliss line and see how it performs as we get into summer.

Bought 40lb test Gliss. Diameter is .010in which is the same as 17lb nanofil which is no longer made. Gliss is smoother than nano and that's about the only good thing I can say.Did multiple tests with breaking strength on the scale and it was breaking at 8 lb!!!That is absolutely ridiculous, at the very least it should be able to hold 17 pounds like the nanofil.Breaking test line was tied with Palomar knots to barrel swivels.I will never buy this line again which is sad because I was looking for a quality replacement for nanofil which is no longer made.

It is a decent line if you want to cast to the moon but has a short life before it starts to fluff up and has very bad abrasion resistance and is very hard to pick wind knots out of. Wouldn’t recommend around structure but for open water distance casting it’s good. It does seem to “catch the wind” more than standard braid as well.
