*Hank Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Need to know what the best Flourocarbon is for $12- and under. Thanks for any replies! Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 There isn't a best fluoro for $12. 1 Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 He's right. If you're gonna get line, spring for it. Went to yo-zuri hybrid because of another member, I won't go back. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Red Label is the best you're going to get.. 3 Quote
SenkoGuru Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Sea-Guar Red Label is the best "Cheap" line you will get. I think it is around $14. I understand money can be tight but you need to always remember that the only thing between you and maybe that fish of a life time IS the line. Do you want to have a great story to tell or the story of how you hooked a good bass and the line broke? Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Seaguar Red Label, WalMart $10! This is my second year using it, zero problems Just cause you spend more doesn't make it better 4 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Red label is ok around soft cover, in rocks though its Yozuri hybrid. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Yo-Zuri Hybrid is a bonded, not coated, nylon/ fluorocarbon blend. Most guys like it, some don't. Give it a try and see what you think, it's an inexpensive experiment. http://yo-zuri.com/Products/Yo-Zuri_Fishing_Line/details/Yo-Zuri_Hybrid.html Currently on sale, 275 yards for $5.99 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 There isn't a best fluoro for $12.I was thinking the exact same thing. Quote
nascar2428 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Red label is what I use for my leader material with braid. Works fine for the waters around here. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 I dunno...in my experience, threads like this tend to lead to a follow-up "I hate fluoro" thread... I've had good luck with Bass Pro, Invisx and Berkley 100% fluoro. None of those are $12 a spool (except maybe Bass Pro when they put theirs on sale) but they're still in the moderately priced range. Remember that you can make fluoro "cheaper" by using mono backing. One 200-yard spool of fluoro can give you three ~65 yard spools worth of line (with the rest filled by backing). Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Seaguar Red Label, WalMart $10! This is my second year using it, zero problems Just cause you spend more doesn't make it better This....This.....double this! Some of my reels have Abrazx and some have Red Label. I could not tell you which has which. Hootie Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Hmm... For me the Red Lable is fine for leader, but too stiff for mainline. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 I also use Red Label for most applications. I agree with RW that copolymer line is a good, cheap alternative to fluorocarbon. YZ Hybrid or P-Line CXX are excellent choices with far better abrasion resistance than Red Label. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 I agree on the Red Label! It gets my vote Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 I used Red Label last year and was surprised at how good it was. It is a little stiff but with a little line conditioner, the 12lb I used was great. Other than this line, I would say there really isn't anything else. Quote
Solution *Hank Posted March 1, 2015 Author Solution Posted March 1, 2015 Red Label is the best you're going to get.. Ok good to know I'll just stick with Red Label. Quote
