Best Fluorocarbon For The Money?

[HOG727]

Baitcast 15-20.   What line do you guys like?  Since a spool of FC is a sizable investment and there are some poor products out there,  I would appreciate any input, good and bad. 

[BasshunterJGH]

How much money are we talkin? What is your price range? I'm a huge fan of sunline, but lately I've been using vicious FC in 6 lb test and its a decent line for the money.

I recently purchased some Sunline Sniper FC because it was highly recommended by a lot of guys on this forum. If you go back a few pages you will easily find the Thread. Anyway, I bought some in 10 and 12# and I do like it a lot but I have also ordered some KVD Line and Lure Conditioner from TW to try out on the Sniper to see if it makes any better than it already is.

Will still go with the Silver Thread.  Not as expensive as a lot of others but have great success.  Have caught many large smallies on eight pound fireline with a 6# Silver Thread leader.  Use other pound tests too and a great bang for the buck.

For leader material, IMHO you can't beat Seaguar Red Label for the money, but for mainline..................IDK, I don't use fluoro as a mainline because it all sucks LOL.

Baitcast 15lb - 20lb :  Seaguar InvizX

[kikstand454]

When I used flouro I really liked the berkley 100%.

It handled great and was plenty strong. That being said. ....I couldn't really find a significant advantage to using it in MY fishing- and I went back to 15# yozuri.

*shrug*

I have been using the BPS XPS on my reels and have had great success with it this past 6 mos. I also use the KVD line treatment.

[HOG727]

I did search and couldn't find any recent discussions and I appreciate the input.  There are so may brands out there and they are always changing formulations (or at least ad campaigns).  This spring I rode in the back of a couple of BASS Elite Pros and they both used fluorocarbon for jig fishing.  But paid sponsors are one thing and everyday customer reviews are another.  I wanted to use Bass Pro Shops but i read on the forum where they changed it.

 Also where to buy to get the best price?  The price range really isn't important if it's a good product.  I've just had some poor experiences and paid a lot for it in the past.

Cost per amount is a toss up between sniper and invizx imo. As you get higher end, shooter and tatsu are the bees knees

[ColdSVT]

For the money seaguar inxizx or sunline sniper

For more money seaguar tatsu!

The Bass Pro XPS is pretty good with no issues using it yet.  I have also had good success with the Berkley Vanish FC line, though it is a bit more than the XPS stuff.

[fishballer06]

Sunline Sniper FC has been the best main line FC I have found thus far. Seaguar Red Label and InvisX seem to have too much stretch and memory for my liking. For just a leader, I really like the Seaguar AbrasX. 

[Tywithay]

Sniper

[Siebert Outdoors]

I fish Inviz X

[Jrob78]

I've counted 11 different recommendations so far.  Decide how much money you want to spend and buy one from one of the major manufacturers.  I like Seaguar and Sunline.   With fluoro, you generally get what you pay for.

[FishTank]

I like Invisx.  I got one bad spool of it but after that never had an issue.  I also like Trilene 100% FC. I have yet to try Sniper but it is on my list.

[Turkey sandwich]

Yo-Zuri Hybrid isn't 100% flouro, but it is still super low viz, low stretch and really abrasion resistant. Right now it's on sale at tackle warehouse for extremely cheap. I've used it as a main line without problem, but now mostly use it mostly for leaders.

[Ozark_Basser]

I don't care what anyone says.  If I don't have the money to fork out for Seaguar, I'll buy Berkley Vanish all day.  I never have problems with it like a lot of people say.  It has a little more stretch too, which I like when I fish it with reaction baits.  

[DCales84]

Your going to get a million different answers on this. If your buying it for the very first time I'd say your best bet is to hit Wal Mart and grab a spool of Seaguar red label. Pretty sure its about 12-13 at most retailers and that will get you 200 or 250yds. I ran 15lb red label for awhile this summer and it held up great esp. with some line conditioner added before every trip. The Bass Pro XPS is also decent for the price and you can snag some one sale fairly cheap. Around my area 20$ will buy about 200yd of InvisX or Trilene 100%. I will say that I do have 12lb Trilene on one reel at the moment and it casts well and has held up great but if it wasn't for being a great buy on clearance I would still be using the red label or XPS brands.

I recently posted the same thread asking about fluorocarbon and based off the results I purchased Sunline Sniper and I cant imagine better fluorocarbon.  Its has the same qualities of mono with the benefits of fluorocarbon.  Great line.

[AMAC]

Seaguar invizx or red label

I don't care what anyone says. If I don't have the money to fork out for Seaguar, I'll buy Berkley Vanish all days. I never have problems with it like a lot of people say. It has a little more stretch too, which I like when I fish it with reaction baits.

I use Seaguar almost exclusively now, but the first fluoro I ever used was Vanish. Never ever experienced ANY problems with it. I'm just lucky like that...lol.

Check out the reviews at Tackle Warehouse. Click on each brand and read the reviews. Some you'll have to take with a grain of salt but you'll get a pretty good idea of what's what along with pricing. I still can't find a reason to switch from Yo-Zuri Hybrid though.
