Wow, double structure Fluorocarbon!
And ONLY $ 54 for 200 yards!
Two and a half times the price of InvizX.
Reviews I've read, most think it's money well spent.
So who's tried it and what do you think?
So who's GONNA try it?
Just think of adding a $54 price increase to your next reel purchase.
And thats if you use backing.

I don't think I'd pay that much for seguars - unless they were Cuban.

Here is a thread from a couple years ago about this line. I haven't tried it yet myself, but this might be the year I try it on one reel. Yes, it's very expensive, but anything at 10 pound test and under is "only" $39, not the $54 that the 20 pound test costs.

I don't care how good it is. I won't pay that much for line, any line, period. A fool and his money are soon parted. More power to those who can afford. I know I can, but I choose not to. Fish don't know and don't care. I'll stick with Invizx.

Bass Boogie, that was really funny!

I don't think trying one spool of it makes me a fool. And I wouldn't be trying it to fool the fish, I would be trying it to see if I think it's better than the Invisx that I use now, and if so, by how much.

I hear you, WB, but like I said, I have problem with anyone willing to try it out. What I would like to investigate or to do is:

1) Compare diameter of both lines at the same pound test.
2) Observe/Compare the difference between limp/stiff. Seaguar in the lower tests is quite limp, which what I love about this line. and finally
3) Measure/Compute there refractive index. Which ever one is closer to that of waters will technically be more "invisible". If they are the same, then it boils down to the traits such as stiffness and manageability, abrasion resistance, etc.

That's what I'd do.

I've talked to several guys who have fished it and continue too because it is as limp of a line as you can ask for with little stretch, and is for sure a better quality line. Is it worth $40+ a spool? Not to me. I could understand if someone is tourny fishing for a living and wanting to have the best they can get to feel every bite and land as many fish as possible but I'm just out having fun, Invisx and Red Label are good enough for me.

I have tried it in 6, 8, and 12 lb test and personally I don't think it is worth the extra money. The only difference I noticed from Invisx is that it is more supple, but Invisx is already one of the most supple floro lines out there. Do yourself a favor and buy 2 spools of Invisx instead.

I've been an InvisX fan for a while, and wish I could try the Tatsu. I've heard a lot of good things about it though.

Last year I started using some Sunline lines as well and have been happy.
