You get what you pay for with Fluorocarbon. Gamma Edge is very expensive but it's also very good in almost every way.
- Considered by anglers who use it to be one of the, if not the best fluorocarbon line on the market
- Incredible combination of strength and suppleness
- Low memory with high abrasion resistance
Reasons to buy
- Overwhelming feedback from anglers who have used it. Most say it is the best fluorocarbon line on the market. What is interesting to not here is that many of these anglers have said that they have tested the majority of other key players on the market but Gamma Edge has come out as a clear favorite for them
- Very strong, very abrasion resistant
- Low memory, perfect for use as a mainline on both baitcasting and spinning reels, offering superb castability in both contexts
- Something mentioned by many anglers who have used it is the fact that this line lasts very long. Most fluorocarbons are UV sensitive and have to be replaced regularly. Gamma Edge users have said that with this line, this is not necessarily as one spool can be used for years. This goes a long way in justifying its hefty price tag
- There are a lot of anglers out there that will argue that Gamme Edge is the best line for power fishing techniques
- Many users have said that 16lb test Gamma Edge offers equivalent strength to 20lb test in most other fluorocarbons on the market. This is great as it allows anglers to use a smaller diameter line without sacrificing strength and durability
Reasons not to buy
- The most obvious con is its price. It really is very expensive but the fact that it lasts so long without deteriorating may just make it worth it
- Some users say that Seaguar Tatsu is slightly more manageable/low-memory

Bottom Line
Overall, Gamma Edge is an incredible fluorocarbon line. It offers an impressive combination of strength, abrasion resistance, and low-memory that is matched by few competitors in the premium fluorocarbon market. This line is very manageable on both baitcasters and spinning reels thanks to its suppleness and this benefit comes without any compromise whatsoever on strength and abrasion resistance.
While it is very expensive, it is certainly one of the highest performing fluorocarbons on the market and should definitely be considered by anglers who are not particularly budget sensitive. If you have been using other premium fluoros and are looking to try something new, give Gamma Edge a go.
