as i was suprised how well it worked with wheightless worms,i will try it again.
the stuff does have bad memory,but it had the perfect amount of stretch for wheightless worms imo. i seem to catch up two four more aday than regular monofilament,but after a while the line started breaking,part of that was my fault for leaving the rods in sunlight but they will still get damaged easily

The Vanish that changes color in water or becomes tranparent is Vanish Transition. Both are Flurocarbon lines.

I don't think I'll change. I've been satisfied over the past 4 months with P-Line being my light flouro line.

kicker,vanish transition is not the new stuff.transition changes color when you put it in sunlight,gold in that case.vanish changes to practicly invisible
when put in water

I've been using the old stuff for about two years now with out any problems. Yeah it has some memory but i can take care of that..... hook a big ol' sowbelly! No... you can cast the line out as far as you can and run the line through a wet towel as you reel it back in. But I take the spool off of my spinning reel and run water over the line for about 30 seconds then put the spool back on. Tie it to your clothes line and walk about 80 yards of line out. Put hard tension on the line for about 10 to 20 seconds then slowly walk and reel your line back up on to the spool. It works for me!

I'm with WTL P-Line makes the best flourocarbon and I'm not changing.
One time I got hung in the rocks with a jighead and tried to break my 6 lb. test P-Line fluorocarbon while trying to break the line I pulled a 19.5 ft. Ranger with 200hp motor a good ways before the line broke

Stren makes my favorite fluorocarbon line. It's hard to find though, they don't even have it at the Bass Pro Shop in Gurnee, IL. Cheap and reliable!

My favorite is Seguar Carbon Pro. Handles well and does the job. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
