Fluoro
Is Sunline Fluoro the way to go?
If so, Sunline offers several colors . . . is it true that the only color fluorocarbon worth using is the clear/white? |

Im no expert with line , or anything for that matter. I am going to try sunline this year. I am going with the invisible , I believe that sun can travel down the flouro and make it glow. I work with fiberoptics some and I see how that stuff looks without the insulation.

i have never used sunline, i am a seaguar guy myself. however i was at a boat show this past weekend where tommy biffle gave a seminar. he talked mostly about flipping and pitching but did talk quite a bit about his sunline flourocarbon. he had a flipping stick with him that had 30# sunline that he had custom made for him for a trip to falcon. he said the line had been on that reel for about 2 months and hadn't been used much at all and let me tell you that stuff was a limp as 4# mono. if i ever stray from seaguar it will probably be to sunline.

At $.27 per yard it better be some good stuff. Good luck with it. I'll keep using XPS fluoro to slay the bass! It's only about $.08 per yard.

I've hard a hard time deciding which fluoro to go with as well. Do I save a bit longer and get a more expensive one, or go with a cheaper one? Will the expensive one perform better? After reading an article on fluorocarbon line a Tackle Tour, It helped me a lot. I am going to go with either BPS or Seaguar InvisX.

I absolutely love the BPS fluoro. It is pretty limp out of the box but a few sprays of KVD line conditioner makes it floppier than my dogs ears. Great stuff!

yeah sunline isn't cheap. i tried the bps stuff and wasn't happy with it at all. it was much stiffer and had a lot more memory than seaguar and i used kvd line and lure conditioner on it. that was when i found seaguar and so far haven't had any reason to try anything else.

Seaguar InvizX hands down.
5 of 7-9 lbers landed on 6 lb test last year. Gonna try those for baitcaster or maybe AbrazX.
