Opinions on Fluorocarbon

My favorite is actually Grand Slam.  I bought it on clearance last year figuring i would try it for kicks and I was really really impressed. I wish I would have picked up every spool they had.

I found Sniper was too vulnerable to kinking. I used Tastu as a leader and it was pretty awesome. I've used a lot of Sunline and Seagaur products and they were all great. Especially Seaguar Red Label, yet to try Sunline's Model FC. I really like their Reaction FC, it's got just enough stretch to off-set my outrageous hook-sets.

Why does something have to be wrong for me to have failures with InvizX?  Maybe I got a bad spool or something else happened but either way, Seaguar will not go back on my reels. 

I used 8lb and spooled it up on my Symetry 2500 and Duckett Ghost. 3rd cast of the day with a shakey head I got bit.  Set the hook and the line broke.  I was using a san diego jam knot and never had a single problem with this knot or the reel with sniper 8lb or XPS 8lb.  The line was not damaged either.   The abundance of stretch, lack of abrasion resistance, and overall issues I had with InvizX makes it one of the few lines I avoid. 

I also had problems with their mono.  I put 8lb Seaguar mono on my mom's sahara 2500 and after 2 trips over the course of a week I could hold the line between my hands and break it with no effort.  Not acceptable. 

I haven't tried the mono, so I can't comment on that.  But if you had repeated breakoffs....something by definition is wrong.  Possibly quality control issues, who knows.  But I can't say enough good about the spool of 12 lb fluoro I have - still going strong.
