Do you guys like this line? Its cheap so I might try some 15lb out because I want some flouro for a all around jig, soft plastics, spinnerbait setup.

Or should I just stop being cheap and get some seguar invisx haha

I LOVE this line. I use 15lb a lot -- as leader material only.

 

I also use Yo-Zuri Hybrid, but like this line quality much more.

I love it. Spool it up and spray a little KVD line and lure conditioner on it and it casts great.

At a minimum , I would plan to use the 12lb ~ 15lb. Fluoroclear as a C-Rig leader ...Might be the best of both worlds (fluoro / mono) in that application .

Do you guys not like using this as a main line? I really don't like leaders except for braid. I'd rather have a flouro that's good for a main line so I don't have to tie leaders.

For me, I have used it fully spooled, but I just don't like line management and I don't like using line conditioner to compensate for coiling, etc. All my reels, casting and spinning, have braid for mainline.

 

I have 100% confidence in my braid-to-leader knot. I use either a uni-to-uni knot, or my favorite, an Albright knot with 8-17 wraps up, and 6-10 wraps back down. Tie it cleanly, don't overlap, moisten well, cinch it down and strenght-test it. Then snip the tag ends tightly. Use a dab of superglue if you feel you need it.

 

I never worry about the leader knot any more.

I used both it and the CX at the same time and had more problems and breaks with the Fluorocarbon.  It seems to be weaker at the same lb test as CX.  If I run flouorclear now I always bump up my test.  If I want 15, I use 20, etc.

I use it as my main line on a Shimano Symetre 2500.  It seems to cast the best for me.  I have tried Invizx and Seguar Red Label and the P-Line seems to have worked best for me.  That's just my opinion.

This line works well as a main line, though it does have some memory. It is not a fluorocarbon though, not sure where you got that. It's a monofilament line, just has a resin coating on the outside. They claim it's as clear as fluorocarbon, and it may be, but it has every bit as much stretch as a regular mono.

You haven't indicated whether it's for b/c or spinning use.  I have a lot of experience with this line, used 20# for offshore on conventional, has dome on spinning too.  Strength was never an issue, many fish well over 50# caught using this line.  Haven't used a conventional reel in a long time, it's all spinning whether it's freshwater, inshore and offshore and braid.  I do use the line as leader for both fresh and inshore fishing, I like it just fine.  As a leader there isn't much of a stretch issue.
