I switched to that stuff cause a guide swore buy its strength. I will never throw swimbaits on it again, I lost 2 big Stocker Trouts in the same day. The line broke right at the bait during casting. I came home and went back to P-line CXX as I have never boke it ever and hate losing swimbaits to cast offs. I have about 8 spools of Triple Fish I will never use if you want it its yours 3-25lb 2-20lb & 3-16lb all camoescent.

Good Luck

Rich

Hi Tim

I will see if I can locate someone to contact you. I know that they recently updated their site, so perhaps something was lost in translation.

First off, I would like to start by saying this is my first post on a public forum, and I would never bash someone's product on a public forum!!!!
I was greatly offened by the posts on this site by Mr. Rich (offduty) Lund!!! I'm the guide he was fishing with at the time of him casting off two of my swimbaits. I have the utmost respect for all of my clients!!! But, I think a little truth needs to be brought to light!!!
I have been fishing my swimbaits since the early 90's and have tried just about every line there is, and have not found a better line on the market than Triple Fish. It is perfect for the style of fishing I do!!! After many years of swearing by their product, my brother and I were put on their Pro Staff and have been for years. We could use any line in the world, but we choose Triple Fish. We trust it 100% with our big fish. I trust nothing but the best for my clients.
Now here is where things get a little confusing. I took Mr. Lund on a guided trip a month ago to Lake Casitas. He wanted me to teach him the art of swimbait fishing. He also wanted me to try and and get him his biggest fish. I did both of those things!!!! I was very happy that I got him the biggest bass of his life!!! He caught the 12 1/4 pound bass on a 10 inch Stocker Trout, 25 pound Triple Fish line and a 957 G-Loomis Swimbait rod. Mr. Lund did use his own personal left handed reel.
One week later I see a post on this site from a fellow fisherman asking what rod and line he used to catch the fish. Mr. Lund wrote back and said "he was using a Powell rod and 25 pound P-Line". None of which was true!!!
Mr. Lund is an inexperienced swimbait fisherman, and was repeatedly told all day long "if he kept reeling the bait right to the tip of the rod and casting that hard, he was going to cast off the bait!!! Any experienced swimbait fisherman knows what I am talking about. After telling him numerous times, I finally gave up!!!
The last hour of the day it finally happend, he cast off two of my baits within an hour. This was no big deal to me!!!!! My job as a guide is to teach people on what to do. I tried, but he wouldn't listen!!! He was the first client I have had that has cast off a swimbait on Triple Fish line.
We started the day off with him reeling in a super hot 12 1/4 pound bass. He almost reeled the bass all the way to the tip of the rod. As you can imagine I slightly panicked!!! I tried to coach him as he brought the fish up towards the boat. Luckily the fish made a hard run and pulled away from the tip of the rod. Luckily the line and rod tip didn't snap with that much pressure on such a short distance of line. I coached him not to do that again as the fish peeled line. I was very happy to get the fish into the boat the next time she came up. High fives were the next thing in order!!! You would think he would be telling everyone about how well Triple Fish
line held up after doing such a no no.
I have caught thousands of swimbait fish on Triple fish line and use it for all my other styles of fishing!!! I'm also proud to be on their Pro Staff!!! My clients who have caught giant bass with me are very happy with the way Triple Fish and my other top of the line equipment handled their fish.
I'm not sure why Mr. Lund would post these things???? I thought he was a great guy, and he said "he enjoyed his day in the boat with me", and said "he learned alot". Everyone has their own opinion on what they like to use, and I agree with that!!! But you don't bash something when it wasn't its fault. It had nothing to do with the line, the line was fine!!!!!!!!
Thank You

Rod
I in no way meant to offend you and I did not realize that I posted that I caught that fish on P Line, my mistake. I will let you all know that I was using Triple Fish. I and many others use this forum to offer our opinions on tackle and I gave mine, I am sorry if it offended you. We all have our personal preferences and I have never had a cast off with P Line and have thrown much heavier baits with it always close to the tip. I like P Line and you like Triple fish, personally I do not see what the big deal is. I appreciate that we got to fish together and you put me on my PB as well as showing me some good spots I will give you that you are a better fisherman than I but I have been throwing swimmbaits on Casitas since 99 and mostly used your lures.

I am a bit suprised that this has been elevated to a level that to me feels a little to much like a personal attack on me and my character, but hey we are who we are and thats just the way it is.

Peace

Rich

I switched to Triple Fish line in 2007. I love this line and have never "casted" a bait off. I use both the Original Camo and the Camo-Escent in 25 lb. I believe they are one of the best "knot" stregnth lines on the market. Plus, the price of this line is more then reasonable.

A few months back I stuck a 10 lber that wrapped me up in a hoseboat cable. I kept steady preasure on her and after what seemed like an eternity, I was able to work the fish free. The line was completely destroyed but it never broke.

I use Triple Fish line for all my topwaters also (Armageddon, 10" Wake Bait, 9" Lunker Punker, Rover, ect.) and it performs great.

The reason I switched to Triple Fish line: that's what Rod Thigpin uses, maker of the Stocker Trout, one of my favorite swimbaits. Have you ever seen the fish this guy catches? I have yet to have a fish brake me off on this line.
