GEAR REVIEW /  BERKLEY® TRILENE® TRANSOPTIC®  World’s FIRST Nylon Monofilament Fishing Line to Physically Change Color Berkley® Trilene®, world leader in fishing line development, has produced TransOptic®, the world’s first color- changing nylon monofilament. After four years in development, Berkley has designed a nylon monofilament line that captures UV rays to physically change the line’s color, making the line a hi-vis gold above the water and transparent below the surface where the UV rays are filtered out. The color-changing line benefits anglers that closely monitor their fishing line their line for the most subtle of bites. Anglers see the line - fish don’t.   “For finesse fishing applications, this line allows anglers to ‘see’ the bite before the rod loads up” said Berkley Product Manager, Clay Norris. “TransOptic is the ‘Line Watcher’s Line’ for both freshwater and saltwater presentations when line movement and visibility out of the water is critical. Anglers can see the line twitch and set up properly on subtle bites.”   With superior knot strength, tough abrasion resistance and extra shock resistance, Berkley Trilene TransOptic is perfect for flipping, pitching, jigging and all finesse fishing applications. Being a monofilament, the line is easily managed for a wide variety of baits and techniques.   Available in pound tests ranging from 4 to 25 pounds on 220-yard spools, Berkley Trilene TransOptic has an MSRP of $8.95 to $10.95. 2000 yard service spools are also available from 6 to 25-pound test.   Features: • Pound Tests / Diameters: 4, 6, 8,10,12,14,17, 20, 25 • Color: Hi-Vis Gold in UV light • Transparent without UV • Spool Sizes: 220-yard Filler Spool  • 2000 yard Service Spool • MSRP: $8.95 (4-8 pound test) • $9.95 (10-17 pound test) $10.95 (20-25 pound test) • World’s FIRST Color Changing Nylon Monofilament • Hi-Vis above water, clear underwater • Tough and Dependable • Holds strong under hard hook sets • For freshwater and saltwater presentations www.berkley-fishing.com WWW.BERKLEY-FISHING.COM
