Sunline Reaction Fc

[Packard]

Anyone used this new line or plan on it? I just got a new spool of FC Sniper but was wondering how this compares to it.

"Sunline Reaction FC is a new fluorocarbon line designed specifically for reaction baits, including spinnerbaits, crankbaits, rattlebaits and vibrating jigs. Reaction FC is made from a new, softer, high strength fluorocarbon material. This new material combined with its unique manufacturing process creates a line that is very supple and flexible, which allows Reaction FC to handle better on your reel. Double resin processing also gives the line outstanding slickness for better casting than traditional fluorocarbons. Also formulated to have more stretch than other Sunline fluorocarbons, Sunline Reaction FC will increase landing percentages of fish caught on reaction baits. With a high specific gravity of 1.78, Reaction FC helps get your crankbaits to run at their maximum depth. Sunline Reaction FC is also dyed stealth gray to help it be even more invisible in any water color."

Looks like it may be worth a try next season.

It's a poor attempt at coming in line with InvizX. They've made some fancy numbers and colors in order to up the propaganda.

hadnt even heard about it but give it a shot, u might like it.

Good to know.

Have you used it, or is that just an initial reaction based on your love of InvizX? Sunline flourocarbons are pretty well respected.

He's most likely used it since he gets all the good stuff early!

I love sniper, its the closest thing I've come across to tatsu, I'll be trying some of the reaction

I agree they're decent lines. This one, though, is a line that I don't like at all. It's got far too much stretch and much too low an abrasion threshold, if you will. It seems counter productive to take the best qualities of fluorocarbon line and cut them in half; rather, the most sought after qualities. I've heard from a number of people fishing the line that it's also not the greatest on the reel, which seems odd. It should be just fine on the reel, based on how it handles otherwise. I'm also a little amused at their touting the specific gravity of the line; almost all 100% fluoro ranges from 1.78 to 1.9, so there's nothing new there.. (Invizx is exactly 1.78, as are some of the other "handling" trended fluorocarbons.)

The other thing that is rather interesting, and there are many sources that you can find this- Seaguar is the only line manufacturer that has the technology and capability to extrude dual structure fluorocarbons. It leads me to believe that the new line is extruded not as a dual structure, but as a copolymer which can lead to separation. That's a different track, and a very, very unlikely occurrence, but there's a great deal of transparance missing in the advertising.

In my most humble of opinions, they have good lines in Shooter and Sniper, with Reaction they're trying to compare themselves to Invizx, which they've failed at in this case. (Truth be told, they're trying to compare reaction to Tatsu with the double structure bit, but again, a tangent...)

If you want a very good line with a good degree of protection, while still having excellent abrasion resistance and handling, Invizx is the better choice. Actually, Trilene 100% is a better choice, too, I'm finding that I really like the line for moving baits.

Yet again I digress...

And I don't get all the good stuff early. I'm still waiting on Fat Smashers and Kopper's Square bills. Not to mention my Ardent Edge Elite that was supposed to be here a month ago.

Edit: I'm sorry, I failed to directly answer you. Yes, I've fished it.

LOL, while you didn't "directly" answer me initially, that was a significantly better answer than I could have suspected. I'm personally a Trilene 100% guy, but I had always heard good things about Sunline. Thanks for the info
