krisjack69 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I have just saw last week at work that Walmart is now selling Vicious lures and line.I did not know they made lures.I knew they made line but not lures.Has anyone seen these and have u purchased any lures or line at walmart and are they any good.Any reviews would be great if u can cause my store just got them a week or so ago I believe.It was very recent in other words.Any reviews would be awesome.

b.Lee Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 vicious line is OK, and I mean that loosely. It has a lot of memory. Quote
BassThumb Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Do they sell Vicious Pro Elite fluoro? I hear it's quite a bit better than the original fluoro and is an excellent value. I haven't tried it yet and I'm interested, but I don't really like the other stuff. Standard Vicious fluoro ties a strong knot but it has too much memory and it always seems to act up when I use it on spinning tackle. Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Ill have to check this out. I'm interested in trying out the Vicious floro. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 23, 2011 Super User Posted March 23, 2011 Ill have to check this out. I'm interested in trying out the Vicious floro. Over the years Vicious line discussion comes up frequently. As an overview, it seems to me that about 95% of the comments are negative. I have personally tried it once, for about an hour before throwing it away. Experiment if you like, it's cheap, but in my opinion, a total waste of both time and money. Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Just save yourself some time and money and go with the BPS XPS fluorocarbon, or the seagar invisx. Quote
Stasher1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've seen the displays in a couple of my local WMs, but it all looks like cheap crap to me. The cranks look poorly finished, like the old Renegade cranks they used to carry. I didn't see a single thing that interested me at all. Quote
Gangley Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 it's cheap, but in my opinion, a total waste of both time and money. X2 Quote
TourPT Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I must be the odd ball. I Love Vicious Ultimate Co-Poly and also am liking the new Flouro, although I have only been out fishing once with it so far. Not crazy about there braid and have not tried any of there lures yet. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Yeah, I saw the cheap cardboard display and walked right on past it. Straight to the Owner hooks. Quote
krisjack69 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah I bought some zoom flukes and swimming flukes and gammy hooks at wally world today after work.Are owner hooks any good.I only have used gammy, mustad and owner senko hooks that has a screw lock keeper on it which seems to work pretty darn good.Its the only hook I have used by owner I believe.I bought em online I think.I dont think they sell those at work.

hookingem Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I personally haven't had problems with the 2 spools of Vicious FC iv'e used, And Iv'e used much higher end flouro's. Quote
Big Tom Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Owner Cutting Points are about the only hook I use. They are super sharp and ultra durable. I bought a Vicious Popper off that cardboard display. I figured if it at least floats it'll have the greatest chance of not entirely sucking. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 24, 2011 Global Moderator Posted March 24, 2011 Personally I like the Vicious floro for flipping heavy cover because of its abrasion resistance. It helps to stretch it out before fishing with it, otherwise it has terrible memory. Quote
central.PA.bass Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 i use 4lb Viscious flouro on my steelhead combo and haven't had any problems with it, I havent used a thicker diameter version of it though.. Quote
christine Cellino Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Walmart carries Owner hooks? Not in my Walmart; that's for sure. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 27, 2011 Super User Posted April 27, 2011 Uhh, the question is about the new Vicious lures, not the line. I'll bet they're of similar quality to the line. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 The only Viscious products in my local Wal-Mart are panfish line, lures and tackle. All are priced at $1. They do carry Owner hooks, but not a very wide selection. Lots of Gammy hooks, though. Quote
joshholmes Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 the line stinks. as for lures the hard baits stink but the soft plastics are okay. Quote
