WCCT Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Is this stuff any good? How does it compare to other brands? Thanks. Quote
Danny1991 Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 I LOVE it! The only other flourocarbon I've tried is BPS XPS and its really good also, I think the XPS is a little less stiff but for the money I prefer Vicious I also spray it down with KVD line and lure, which helps with the memory. I definatly recommend it! ;D Quote
Super User grimlin Posted November 22, 2008 Super User Posted November 22, 2008 I had a bad experience with it. :-/ Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 It's ok. For the money its nice. Though I dont like straight flouro, its a bit too stiff for my taste.... I use the Vicious stuff for leaders and have had good results. Mine was free or I likely wouldnt have tried it (or any flourocarbon) but its not bad. I really do like the Vicious braid though! Quote
jack1 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I gave it a shot and I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't had the chance to play around with other brands, so its difficult to compare. IMO...it good line and it's not as expensive as the others on the market. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted November 24, 2008 Super User Posted November 24, 2008 Bought 700 yrds of 15lb and now have about 570 yrds of leader material...Didn't like memory, castability, or the stiffness...You can't even tie a secure knot with 20lb....But I'm beginning to think I'm just not a Flouro kinda guy....

Flywatersmallie Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 But I'm beginning to think I'm just not a Flouro kinda guy.... I think that makes 2 of us! Quote
deadeye32. Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I really like the stuff. In the past I had problems with flourocarbon breaking at the knot, but that just has not happend with this stuff. I will be purchasing more when my season starts up again. Quote
MattStrykul Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 hey deadeye, I had huge problems with my line breaking at the knot but it was because I was tying a palomar knot. Sure alot of guys are gonna come after this and say "Oh I tie a palomar knot and haven't broken off once" but I'm telling you, once I switched to a san diego jam knot I honestly haven't broken off one fish. Give it a try. Quote
Bass Dude Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I've had problems with it too. Breaks not only at the knot, but everywhere, not too abrasion resistant. :'( I've tried P-Line Fluoro and Vanish and have had no issues like I did with Vicious. Quote
WCCT Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. I figure I might as well try it. You can't beat the price. I usually use Berkley 100%, or P-Line, but it gets way too expensive re-lining rods before every tournament. Quote
Bass Dude Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Triple-Fish makes a good one too, in the medium price range. Quote
SpecialSause Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 i dont really use anything but fluorocarbon and i use Berkley vanish 14lbs test ive never had a problem with it i tie a clinch knot. SS Quote
The Next KVD Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Its okay, but P-Line 100% is WAY BETTER! Quote
