Super User Bird Posted June 9, 2022 Super User Posted June 9, 2022 I wouldn't dare use Berkeley Vanish around young children. They shouldn't be exposed to foul language. 1 4 Quote

I broke off two LM that would have been PB's on 20# Invizx. Both 7# +. Those are giants in OH, and are few and far between. I may never stick one that big again. I swore off flouro all together after the 2nd. Invizx also broke twice in FryDog62's line stretch test. 1 Quote

It's low stretch, abrasion resistant, and has excellent knot strength. That said, Last year I went to 40# Sufix 832 for fishing in cover and I've been VERY happy with it. I won't be going back to mono for many applications. I'm using straight braid for pitching, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, lipless cranks, and some top waters. Still using mono for finesse stuff, poppers, and billed cranks. I love the way 832 handles. I seldom need to retie, it has no memory, and I can put my bait into the nastiest tangles and be confident I can winch the fish out. I no longer feel like braid is a specialty line like many view it. It works well in a wide range of applications. 1 Quote

In my experience, even just 15# Invisx is difficult to break off. Sounds like you have a fluoro issue not specific to any brand. 2 Quote
Tatulatard Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 If I broke off 2 7lbers on the hookset I would stop using that type of line and would re-evaluate my hooksets. Fluoro just can't take repeated hard hammerings without plastic deformation I have found so I have dialed back on my hooksets, reduced drag, retie my line frequently since I started using fluoro and all my problems went away. I only bubba cross the eyes hookset anymore with mono to combat all that stretch. Big game mono has become my preferred top water and leader line of choice. No more fluoro leaders for me. All that force being transfered to a few feet long section of fluoro just beats it up and deforms it. I still like it as a main line though. Quote
MAN Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Flouro line is about to go up as the automobile industry as begun to start absorbing larger and larger qty's of it. Enjoy these prices while they last. (in my opinion) 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 10, 2022 Super User Posted June 10, 2022 I'm curious what they're using it for? 1 Quote

Spent a few years with flouro then went back to mono after Invisx let me down the second time. Most of my rods are spooled with braid these days though. LM and river SM don't seem to care a bit about seeing braid. I think lake smallies do though when fishing slow moving baits. XT and BG in low vis green disapear well in my local waters and work well for me when chasing open water brownies and saugeye. 1 Quote
Super User ATA Posted June 19, 2022 Author Super User Posted June 19, 2022 ok guys, thats what I found and got two spool of it, As you can see one spool is gone on this reel. The combo is for party sport fishing boats for bottom fishing. Quote
