Fluorocarbon

I know a few folks here like vicious. I'm also looking at maybe getting some for a new spinning reel I hope to get! I'm thinking maybe Saugar Red Label?!
The only one I've used and liked is BPS.... but other than that, the only one I've used is Tripple fish.. Good sensitivity, and abrasion resistance, but it's got WAY to much memory to cast.. even for casting reels! Hopefully we can both benefit from this!

I tried Vicious last year and pulled it all off after two outings. For some reason it didn't cast at all for me on a spinning reel. I'll look to see if I have any left and you can have it if you want. I have heard there were some problems with the early batches that was supposed to be fixed more recently so you might not want the line I have.
I like the Invizx and Sunline FC Sniper best so far. If you look around hard enough you can find them for about the same price. |

Count me in for another vote for Seaguar InvisX. I've never used AbrasX, but heard it performs just as well.

I've just started using BPS XPS Floro. I really like it, it seems fairly limp and doesn't cost as much as some of the other stuff.

I'm a fan of BPS. Have used everything from 8lb - 20lb. Both spinning and casing. No complaints here.

Have to agree with Jim80....I've tried several including Triple fish, BPS, Vanish etc. The InvisX is the most manageable I've used while the Trilene 100% seems just a little bit more sensitive.

I recently started using the BPS brand flourocarbon. I've tried Trilene 100%, InvisX, AbrazX, and the Spiderwire 100%. BPS is the winner for me. Casts very well, is very strong and sensitive and is easy to manage on the reel. I'm also very impressed with the Spiderwire 100%. It has suited me well on my light spinning reel/rod that I use for drop shotting and shakey head.

P-Line 100% fluoro is good, but yes I have to agree with others that seaguar is really good and my #1 choice

Invizx if you can afford it, and if not, Cabela's FC is quite comparable at roughly 1/2 the price.
I have also tried Cajun FC and was very impressed and IMHO it is on par with invizx in performance.

Ever since I was young, my crazy mind has usually found comparable equivalents to certain things. Since I first saw IMHO, my mind translated it to mean, "In my humble opinion."
Good to know I still can learn something new every once in a while.

I think that's the first time I've seen Honest, but it that makes sense too. IB's right, you do learn something new every day. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone use "human" lol. As opposed to the opinion of a robot?
Maybe as opposed to the opinion of the baitmonkey. For example, I'd say, "IMH[uman]O, I think Reel A would be a much better choice than Reel B." While the Monkey would say, "IMH[onest]O, BUY EM BOTH!!! In fact, BUY TWO OF EACH!!!" BB
