User questions & answers

Question:	What knot do you use with this line
Answer:	No mono
Question:	is this a coplyomer line
Answer:	if you zoom in, the label says that the 2lb test is 0.16 mm . I used it for main line and is OK for trout, bluegill and bass (you have to net the fish, not pull it out of the water). But for leader it is not good, it will break immediately from fish teeth. Use fluorocarbon for leader, and preferable 0.20mm
Question:	what is the diameter of this line
Answer:	That is pretty much why I bought it. I am using it on a pinrod fly fishing rig.
Question:	Could this line be used as tippet for fly fishing
Answer:	Yes. The line is tough enough for cat fishing.

• KastKing - the ICAST 2015 Award winning brand, releases the new 2016 FluoroKote Fishing line. It's a combination of the No.1 selling KastKing Copolymer Fishing Line with high-tech 100% fluorocarbon coating that reduces the line's visibility when immersed in water.
• The combination of the two materials maximizes the advantage of fluorocarbon invisibility with the low memory and superior castability of copolymer. So you can have similar qualities and performance of fluorocarbon at a lower price.
• Low Stretch, high strength, superior abrasion resistance, higher density, and greatly reduced visibility make KastKing FluoroKote Fishing Line a great upgrade from mono line and ideal low cost alternative to fluorocarbon line.
• The diameters of the FluoroKote are less than KastKing Copolymer Fishing lines or other monofilament lines, resulting in a smaller, stronger line that gives you more reel capacity and increased depth with diving baits.
• KastKing FluoroKote Fluorocarbon fishing line sinks faster with low absorption. The unique fluorocarbon materials make the line extremely durable, offer great knot strength, and exceed in sensitivity. KastKing FluoroKote Line is extremely versatile, giving anglers piece of mind to fish almost any conditions and techniques with confidence.

User questions & answers

Question:	I’m looking to use this line to hang photos from the moulding in my home. Is this line close to invisible
Answer:	Our Fluorokote is a clear line, you should have no problems with it.
Question:	Does this creates bird nest frequently
Answer:	I have found it’s not frequent at birds-nesting, but when it does it is very hard to get out because of the lack of flex. Most of the time for me I just cut them out because I spool low amounts at a time.
Question:	What would be the downside of using 15-pound line for smaller fish, so I can use this for lakes and inshore salt water
Answer:	no problems with smaller fish, but the inshore salt this line is not for the bigger fish in salt water, you would probably need a thicker line like 20 or 30 lb line, great flourocarbon for the price, caught a 5lb bass no problens, line didn't break, used a 1/2 oz spinner bait with no complications
Question:	Do you no longer carry the 30lb test
Answer:	I’m not totally for sure, but I think fluorokote only goes up to 25lb test. That said, the strength of the 25 is as strong, if not stronger than your typical 30lb line.

User questions & answers

Question:	When i fish clear water should I use a leader on the gray color or no
Answer:	I use a fluorocarbon leader with the braided line in clear water and attach it with an Alberto knot. Attach the braided line to the fluorocarbon, not vice versa. Also, some species aren't as "gut shy" as others - i.e. trout are "gut shy" and catfish not so much.
Question:	What pound test is good for small lake bass fishing? #20? or #15 would be good enough? Is it good for bait caster rod? Thanks a lot
Answer:	I fishing clear water so I run 15# braid to 10# floro leader. I target bass and have had zero issues with that selection. Sometimes when the fish are finicky I drop a couple pounds on the floro leader. All I use is baitcasters and it casts great. Never had an issue with picking out an occasional backlash.
Question:	Are there issues of the color leaching off the KastKing onto leading lines? This'll be reel backing and don't want it to bleed onto fly line
Answer:	I use nothing but KastKing braid now. Best braid I’ve ever had. Landed a 200lb sand tiger shark on the beach using 50lb kastking braid. But I have to say.... the color wears off quick. Gets on my hands. But well worth it for the price! I will never go back to Power Pro!
Question:	Hello how are you? Is the 15LB (0.14mm) equivalent to 12LB Mono? Is that correct
Answer:	are you going bass fishing? with that 15 pound? even though i wasnt happy with the spec they gave out. in general braided line is much better than mono. im guessing the breaking strength would be like around 10 to 12 pounds for a 15 pound braided line. so i would buy a slighter stronger line to be safe.and also you should tie on mono leader so in case your line got stuck on something the mono would break first and you wont lose your whole braided line.if your using a 15 pound braid ,put on a 10 pound monon leader. and the mono also gives the line some stretch so you don't rip the hook out of fish mouth. ps. these braided line are still much thiner than the mono line what you would buy. but if you want real high quality braided line i would buy power pro braided line. they have some really thin fishing line. like a 20 pound mono is equivalent a 45 pound test braided from power pro. however, these line are much more expensive.

• LOW MEMORY – KastKing mono is made with Paralleled Roll Track technology resulting in better reel capacity for easier handling and casting!
• ABRASION RESISTANT – You can now take on a good bass fishing fight with nylon line.
• SUPERIOR CLARITY PLUS COLORS – Rest assure that your clear line will remain more invisible than ever and colored monofilament are available for many fishing tactics!
• LOW ABSORPTION – Gives the line less limpness and quicker retrieval, allowing any angler to have peace of mind to fish almost any condition and techniques with confidence.
• QUALITY GUARANTEED – When it comes to KastKing, we’re all about keeping fishing fun by keeping it affordable! KastKing’s monofilament reduces line breakage at the knot and perfect for freshwater or saltwater fishing.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the color on the line suppose to be part blue and clear or solid blue through out the line. I've received mine with partial blue and clear
Answer:	That is a guideline for you. You can put heavier line on, however it will perform better if you use 12 lb. or below.
Question:	So if my rod is rated up to 12lbs, and my reel is rated up 12lbs, does that mean I should only put 12lbs on? Is 12lbs strong enough
Answer:	30 lb test is .5 mm
Question:	looking for a plastic cord in different colors .8 width for cross stitching is this .8 or smaller
Answer:	The diameter for 35 LB is 0.50mm. Hope you have a nice experience with KastKing Monofilament Line.
Question:	What is the diameter for 35 LB

User questions & answers

Question:	when i order 4lb test it changes to 17lb in cart, has anyone had this issue
Answer:	Hello, you should tighten the big main lock knob on the head before taking the head off. Please refer to the second pictures in product page on Amazon.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	The monopod is about 47 inches when extended fully
Question:	Is this line mono or braid
Answer:	Yes it comes with a strap, you will need the tripod adapter. The cover on the center shaft is removable and the adapter screws into the female threads under the cover
Question:	The listing says 12 lb 330 yard TriLene but my cart says 10 lb. which is right
Answer:	No There is no tripod mount on the binoculars. I purchased a G2 20x50 binocular and returned them because they are too powerful to be hand held. I then purchased a 10x50 which works much better. The G2 10x50 is a little shaky but manageable.

Question:	how many yards are on the spool of 4 pound and 6 pound
Answer:	Bfdjek
Question:	Is this a very strong fishing line and can i catch plenty fish with it and which color is good at night
Answer:	This will Stand up on it own when it is new without a camera or a $100 point n shoot. Over time, you may have to tight up some screws.

Good luck

Question:	what pound test is avsilable
Answer:	You would have to check the Amazon site for pound test available. I had ordered only one size which was 4 lb test several months ago. You might also check someplace like Bass Pro Shops to see what sizes are manufactured.
Question:	Is the EZ Braid 4 or 8 strand
Answer:	I believe the EZ is less than 4 strands. Dura-4 is 4 strands. Stealth is 8 strands. Ive used this EZ braid, cheap, you get what you pay for.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this line @ 17lbs be able to handle 13-24lb salmon & steelhead
Answer:	The 20lb test line is .016 inches or .40 millimeters in diameter. I'm thinking the 1,000 yard spool is the one you are interested in. I have never looked at the weight of a spool, only the size of line and the yards on the spool
Question:	is this good for fishing right off the reel
Answer:	I use this on all of my baitcasters that I run flouro on. As long as your reel is set up properly you won’t have an issue. Use some line lubricant also like KVD line and lure
Question:	Do you have to wet knots before pulling tight to avoid breaking
Answer:	It is a easy line to manage, yes I think it would work for fly fishing
Question:	What's the difference between fishing line and fishing leader of the same lb. test
Answer:	lb is just the abbreviation of the word pound. lb=pound
