Vicious Line

SCJ89 · 02-09-09, 12:08 AM

Has anyone used vicious line and if so is it any good?

carolina-rig-01 · 02-09-09, 01:58 AM

as a stong believer in seaguar i have never used it. however i have heard it is a pretty good flourocarbon line that is just not quite as strong as seaguar and has a little more memory, but supposed to be a good line none the less.

seaguar is good stuff but vicious is cheaper so that why i was wondering

i have never heard of it but last year at the classic it was selling like hot cakes on a freezing winter morning... also i have heard some good stuff about it

It's actully a floro-mono hybrid. I heard nothing but good things.

I've fished with a few guys on the reservoirs who've had Vicious spooled on, and both hated it. It had way too much memory in their opinion compared to their favorite Mono or Flouo, and they both broke off way too much. Boy was I glad I had my braid with a leader spooled on instead.

I have used it , it is one of my favorites. Less line memory than seagur..

Thanks for the input i think i will buy a spool or two and give it a shot let you know what i think about it.

Just bought some last week. I bought the Vicious Ultimate co-polymer in 17# and 20# test. Used it Sunday at Lake Sanghris by Springfield. Liked it alot.

Seagur red box 100% flourocarbon on sale at BPS $11.99.

Viscious is very strong line, but the diameter ratings are messed up. You get a line way thicker than others for the same pound test rating.

And it's got lots of memory(ies).

But it works either way.

I just bought spools of the Fluoro in 8, 10, and 12. I was happy since they come in 250 yard spools and I got 2 reels full. I filled up a Calcutta 100 for cranking and a Symetre 2500 for tubes. It was really windy on Saturday so I threw traps all day long on the cranking reel, the line was just fine, maybe a little stiff but otherwise great.

Now for the bad part, I decided to try to launch a tube and test out a new Loomis 7'4" tube rod, made for long casts. The tube went about 40 feet and the line was so bad it made a grinding noise going through the guides! I tied it to a tree and pulled out 100+ yards and stretched it really good and reeled it in with a lot of tension. Next cast same thing. Now I have to pull the line off, never had line that bad before.

Vicious has alot of memory. That's the only complaint I have, and that's probably the one major thing I look at when I buy new line. I have recently tried Izorline platinum and that stuff is great for the cost, but I'll never give up my Sufix. I've tried them all and I go back to Sufix every time.

Ok tryed it hated it. digs in on hook sets, breaks off way to easy no abrasion resistance.
