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:	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:	Does this creates bird nest frequently
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:	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:	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.
Question:	Do you no longer carry the 30lb test
Answer:	Depending on the lure I’m throwing or how I’m fishing I tie to knots with this line, The improved clinch knot and a polymer knot.

User questions & answers

Question:	diameter of 4# line
Answer:	Yes it will . I have landed a 23 lb striper on 10lb Vanish Fluorocarbon. Strong line.
Question:	Will this line @ 17lbs be able to handle 13-24lb salmon & steelhead
Answer:	Yes. Lubing the knot prior to pulling it tight prevents friction that may damage the line. Highly recommended practice for mono and fluorocarbon line.
Question:	Do you have to wet knots before pulling tight to avoid breaking
Answer:	Leader goes on the end of any fishing line. This line would do well to add on 2-10 feet to your existing line. Not for pike or walleye type of fishing where a more structurally type of leader is needed. It's really just a basic fishing line that's a little better to add to a bigger inexpensive line if used as a leader. I'm buying to spool it all on though.
Question:	What's the difference between fishing line and fishing leader of the same lb. test
Answer:	If your using it in fresh water will last a long time. Salt water you must rinse it every time you use it, plus some lubricant. Any line must be kept out of the sun as much as possible. Watch your casting technique for a weight forward line against trout. I assume your using streamers. This manufacturer is as good as any. From a 68 year old fly caster. HDV

User questions & answers

Question:	When i fish clear water should I use a leader on the gray color or no
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:	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 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:	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:	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.
Question:	Hello how are you? Is the 15LB (0.14mm) equivalent to 12LB Mono? Is that correct
Answer:	This is determined by the diameter of the line spool.Accorduing to our experience, it is convenient for you to use it with 1000m braided line.And we have offered an adjustment for you to use it with different sized line spools.(not added in the picture)

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
