MT2 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I have only used 2 types of flouro over the years. Vanish-Vicious-Vanish, thats how my cycle looks. Im thinking about attempting to go with a higher grade as I begin to gear up in hopes of starting to fish a lake in anticipation of fishing a USA Bassin series there in 2013. Price is important as Id like to keep it around what Im spending now but Im not against paying twice as much if I can REALLY tell a diffrence between it and Vanish. Here are some Im looking at(Any others wont fall on death ears) Bekley 100% Vicious Elite P-Line Halo Sunline Super FC Sniper Id prefer to go with one that offers a 15# test, but Im not against a 14#.

CalebWVU Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I've never fished with FC personally, so I can't offer too much advice. I've heard excellent things about the Sunline Sniper line though. Here's a link to a somewhat outdated but still useful test that Tackletour did on some popular FC lines. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewfluorocarbontest.html Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted July 31, 2012 Super User Posted July 31, 2012 I have had great luck with Invisx on spinning gear, and Abrasx on casting. Quote
shootermcbob Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I really like the yo-zuri hybrid and ultrasoft...and both are really good values. I have also used and liked the cabelas brand of FC...heard that it was made by seguar, but can not verify. also pretty easy on the wallet, but I have found it strong, easy to manage, and very castable. I do not think it is particularly abrasion resistant, but I have only fished it in 6 lb and 10 lb. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted July 31, 2012 Super User Posted July 31, 2012 I use Vicous on my crankbait rod. I love it and its easy on the wallet. I've used BPS XPS fluoro too, not bad either. I did not like Berkley 100% fluoro. I had a lot of break offs using it compared to the other 2 mentioned. The lines are getting better every single year so there are a lot of "trial" spools to be had. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 1, 2012 Super User Posted August 1, 2012 I have had great luck with Invisx on spinning gear, and Abrasx on casting. Yup. InvizX on spinning and finesse casting, and AbrazX on everything else. Also, BPS makes a VERY nice all-around flouro, but they never seem to have it in stock at the store Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I've used the Cabelas brand which is pretty good and easy on the wallet and also their X50 flouro which is made by Seaguar http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Line/Fluorocarbon%7C/pc/104793480/c/104719680/sc/104338080/X50-Fluorocarbon-Line-by-Seaguar/1156281.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Ffishing-fishing-line-fluorocarbon%2F_%2FN-1100385%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104338080%3FWTz_l%3DUnknown%253Bcat104793480%253Bcat104719680&WTz_l=Unknown%3Bcat104793480%3Bcat104719680%3Bcat104338080 $22.99 for a 15# spool of 250 yds and using 12# for cranking and c rigging.
