I know, not to many people have anything good to say about Vanish. When I first decided to try fluoro, Vanish was the one I chose to use. I fished this line for a whole season with absolutely NO problems. Now, a little added info. At the time, I was not on any forums asking opinions. I chose this one at random. I had no one telling me it wasn't any good. So, maybe things of this nature are like the "emperors new clothes". If no one tells you it's no good, maybe it's good. If everyone says the "emperors new clothes" are beautiful, then the naked man is dressed. Just a thought. I now use Seaguar Abrazx and Red Label almost exclusively, but never had any problem with Vanish. Hootie
