Thoughts on Seaguar Red Label fluorocarbon

[Russ E]

while trying to save money I tried 12 lb and 15 lb red label last summer. I did not have much luck with it. it had a lot of memory and after losing several fish to breakoffs, I gave up on it.

sunline sniper is my favorite flourocarbon.  I also occasionally use berkley 100%  flourocarbon.

I made the mistake of buying a 300 yard spool of it... I've given fluorocarbon a lot of chances. I just cannot like it. Red Label cut the heck of my finger once, so my opinion of it is the same as other fluorocarbon I've tried so far: meh. Too thick, too much memory, too hard to tie and deal with. I'd rather wrestle a bear or an alligator than try to wrestle Red Label into submission.

I have used it for about a year now (12 lb). I fish just a few times a month, but it has worked well enough for me. I think it is worth a try for you.

@Burro  I replied to this original post back in 2016 and my opinion of Red Label in 10# test still hasn't changed.  For the Walmart price of $11/200yd spool it's the best economy FC out there.  I can spool my small baitcasting reel twice and still have some line left over to use for leaders on my spinning rod. I use KVD L&L and have NEVER seen any memory issues or line management problems.  However, I've never used 12# or 15#, only 10#.  The only complaint I have is Red Label isn't very abrasion resistant so I check my line and retie often if necessary.

Ive tried the red label and it was ok to me. It didnt seem to last as long as invisx or abrasx as far as abrasion or memory goes, even with regular use of kvd line conditioner. I just watch for sales on abrazx for cranks, and invisx for everything else but leaders. Leaders i will only use blue label leader material.

I've only used it 17# size.  It was manageable, using KVD L&L, but not my favorite.  Id you can afford it, go with Invisx.  Much better all purpose line.
