Bow River Blog

I always and I mean always spool my Pflueger reel with Berkley XT fishing line. When I fish the Bow River, I prefer to use 8 lb Berkley Extra Tough because as I mentioned earlier in this Blog, there are Large Trout that live here. I’ve pretty much used every fishing line that’s on the market and found that I like the XT the best. I’m the type of fisherman who’s fussy when it comes to fresh line on my reel, so before I float I usually respool my reel so I have no problems when I’m out on the water. Berkley has a few different colors to choose from when you buy your fishing line, low visibility green, clear and a few others you can choose from. I always buy the low visibility green as it seems to match the color of the water I fish on the best. Some of the other fishing line I like to use include Excalibur, and Spider wire.
