*Hank Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 As the title says I'm looking for the best fluorocarbon for under $15. I've thought about p-line flouro clear and others but just need advice for what kind is the best? 1 Quote
JGBassinAL Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 The only fluoro I have liked in that price range is Sunline Super Fluorocarbon. Treat it with a little KVD Line & Lure and it is actually a great line. If you can wait Tackle Warehouse usually has buy one get one free towards the end of the year on Sunline Super Fluorocarbon and you could get it even cheaper. 1 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 Sunline Super is the only one I would recommend. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 P-line fluoroclear is not fluorocarbon. The best low price one I've used is Sunline Super, but I wouldn't buy it again. In my opinion, it's worth a few more bucks for Sniper; or I'll just use a good mono. If you wait a couple weeks for Black Friday sales, you can get the better stuff at 25%-30% off. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 Believe Silver Thread is around that price...have used for years....no complaints 1 Quote
dam0007 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Sunline Super is the only one I would recommend.+2 for cranking, jerks, pitching docks etc Quote
Super User deep Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 Why do you want a cheap fluoro (why not a good copoly) and what techniques are you looking to fish with it? Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 Haven't tried one under $15 that I like. I'd spend the few more dollars and go for the Berkley 100% Fluoro. I see you can get a pony spool for $10.99 Quote
cottny27 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I bought some Red Label in 10# this past Spring for cranking. I have no complaints. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 "Best" is a relative term when it comes to economy priced fluorocarbon line. A-Jay Quote
skeletor6 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I don't try to save money buying fluoro. Good fluoro pays for itself when longevity and lost lures is considered. I would get invizx if you made me, but sunline fc sniper on a discount or BOGO is best. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 P-Line Floroclear is a copoly line that is coated with fluorocarbon. It has *some* benefits of pure fluoro. That said, it is a great line, IMO. There are plenty who have had bad experiences with it, and plenty of us who really like the line. Low-cost pure fluoro recommendations, like A-Jay said, are relative. But if I were to throw out some ideas to you, they'd be Red Label, Bass Pro XPS. For me, I need to keep the line baitmonkey off my back. I've got PLENTY of spools of P-Line floroclear and YoZuri Hybrid to last me years. Not to mention some XPS fluoro. All such lines for me last even longer because I use them as leaders only. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 I use Red label # 20.. It's fine in soft cover, if rock fishing, you would be better served with a harder FC line... Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 I use seaguar abrazx for my contact baits and red label for everything else. Hootie Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 4, 2014 Super User Posted November 4, 2014 Save up $3 and get Invisx. Otherwise, try YZ Hybrid or CXX. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 5, 2014 Super User Posted November 5, 2014 When asked back in February to try Seaguar Red Label & give a review I spooled a reel with 17#. I have not change line since, leaving the same line on for 8 months. With this setup I throw spinner baits, swim jigs, buzz baits, & rat-l-traps. The line exhibited good knot strength, abrasion resistance, & low coil even after 8 months. 3 Quote
Logan S Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I use Red Label for everything. It's a good combination of performance and price. The Sunline Super FC feels spongy compared to RL, I personally don't like it. You can't really go wrong with RL. It's not the best, obviously...But I actually prefer it to some of the higher end stuff. If you go through a ton of line like I do it's almost a necessity. Bulk spools of RL hurt a lot less than Sniper or others. 1 Quote
fisherrw Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 sunline fc sniper is the best!!! go catch a wopper hank! Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 5, 2014 Super User Posted November 5, 2014 P-Line Floroclear is not FC, it´s hybrid line. Quote
spartyon8 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Basspro is a few weeks might have their brand on sale. Quote
