Penguino Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 So I recently just bought a spool of 12lb Vicious Fluorocarbon at clearance pricing. I will primarily be using it for cranks and traps. Has anybody used this line before and how is it? Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I use it, no problem at all for me. You should be good, make sure you dont burn your line when tying the knot, and roll. Quote
Grantman83 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Not gonna lie, I barely if ever fully bash a product but the regular vicious Fluoro was THE worst line if I have ever used...large diameter compared to other line and almost unmanageable even with line conditioners... The pro elite is supposed to be better. I've used their mono and braid with no issue but would never recommend their low priced fluoro. 1 Quote
Arv Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I had 8# on a spinning reel a while back. It was fine but I pretty much use braid on all my reels now Quote
jonnyblazex Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I have tried a lot of fluoros, and viscous was one of the stiffest, highest memory lines. Had a few NASTY backlashes with it, and decided to try something else. Never tried it again. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I am sorry to say but that line is the worst stuff I have ever used. It is so stiff I couldn't cast it and trying to tie a knot was a pain. It is almost like trying to fish with bailing wire Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 22, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 22, 2015 The 12lb is one of my favorite finesse jig lines. It doesn't have the high memory that the line does once you go to 15lb or higher. It's very strong and should suit you just fine for cranks and traps. Quote
