Well i went into the local tackle store to pick up some fluro for leaders. While i was looking a sales guy comes up and asks if he can help me. I explain my scenario. He takes me straight to the vanish. Now something in my mind pops up and i start to think ive heard really negative reviews on this stuff. But he assures me in his canadian accent that its what he uses and he never has any issues with 8lb for bass and that its breaking point was probably closer to 10lbs. So i think to myself ok, this guy wouldnt steer me wrong. Well tonight i read some reviews and decided to test out how much trouble its going to cause me. I hook it to a weight and connect the other end to my scale and start to pull up slowly. With multiple attempts using new line the highest i could get before it snapped was 4lbs 7 oz. Ive written berkley so hopefully they will make it right, im just happy i never took it out and lost fish with it. Any ideas on what i could use it for? I was thinking maybe use it to hang christmas ornaments but even they might snap it.
