YGK Nitlon Trout Nylon Review

These days it’s all braid, braid, braid. But there is still a few circumstances where mono/nylon lines still come in to play. Trolling being the most notable of the uses, but I’ve grown a fondness of keeping things simple when it comes to freshwater fishing.

On a recent trip to the sweet water I decided to give some YGK Nitlon Trout line a go, and was impressed to say the least. I was after a supple, castable mono that retained its strength and the Nitlon Trout seemed to grab my attention.

YGK have designed the Nitlon Trout to handle the cooler water temperatures. No more kinking and stiffness with this stuff. Even though we don’t have the coldest of waters here in Australia you can still notice the difference immediately.

The line casts well and lays nicely on the reel. Strength wise it held up well around the unforgiving structure. Not to mention its knottability compares to that of a lot more expensive Japanese lines.

While there was not any monsters off the deep so to speak, it still performed flawlessly on the hordes of Redfin and snaggy territory that surrounds them. Overall I was impressed with the bang for buck, and if your after a freshwater mono that seems to tick all the boxes, check out Nitlon Trout.
