Vicious Fishing Line

[franklinfishfinder]

Went to the Classic on Friday and at the Expo ran into vicious fishing line. i've heard of it before but what I saw it looked good. Does anyone use this stuff and if so is it any good?

The 12 lb. copoly I've been using doesn't like ice.  :-/

I like Vicious.  However, in my experience you need to superglue the knots otherswise they break easily.  Good line other wise.

Wow, doesn't take much to make you happy. :-?

No it doesn't.  Especially if u compare Vicious to Vanish.   ;D  

But if you don't glue the knot it breaks easily.  If you glue it its very strong.

Been using Vicious about a month and no problems.  Use a Uni-knot and haven't needed the glue and no problems with knot breakage.  Be sure and really wet the knot before cinching it down----critical with Fluoro lines.

I just used some for the first time today.  I have used Seagur invisx, Vanish, BPS excel mono, Trilene xl, Trilene xt, Trilene max,  and Cajun Red Cast over the past two years.  Here are my opinions.  I have tried not to use flurocarbon but I like the sensitivity to much.  Vanish was ok.  Seagur was awesome but cost way to much money.  I really liked Red Cast and BPS Excell mone.  For the money I am hoping that Vicious will be my flurocarbon for now.  I have a tournament this weekend so I'll let you know how it works.  So far I like it.

Sounds like a knot-tying problem, not a line problem.

I hate the stuff...split like a banana midway down my line.

I saw this stuff at an expo today, even the rep had a hard time with it.  I was not impressed.

Was at an expo today working a booth, and talked to some of the Vicious/Outlaw guys and ended up using their fluoro for tying a few demo baits.  Like Burley said if there is an issue of the fluoro and a knot, I would guess it to be the user.  The copoly was what impressed me(a braid guy) and I may have to throw some on a trap reel as the only other non-braided line I use is some Yozuri Hybrid on my spinning rod.

It was a booth for Vicious/Outlaw line and baits.  They were trying out the new Gami Monster EWG 7/0 and knots were breaking.  They then tried to setup a drop shot setup on lighter line.  Both demos went bad.  I felt sorry for the guys.  They had lots of good info to share.
