Fluoro

bassinbob · 01-17-10, 10:32 PM

Gander has Siglon fluoro for $5 a spool. Has anybody used this brand for deep cranking? Good or bad?

I've never tryed that brand before. I know the berkley vanish is some good line for the money.

I'm very surprised to hear you say that. That is the first positive comment I've EVER heard about Vanish when it comes to bass fishing. Have you used it yourself, or just heard?

My fishing partner uses it all the time and loves it. I've used it on his reels several times.I think it is good for the money considering its half the price of other flouro lines. What have you heard that was bad?

BigBassin144 · 01-18-10, 12:09 AM

I've heard quite a bit bad actually:

As for the original question (sorry we kinda got off topic). Also, I've never heard of Siglon, but for 5 bucks, give it a shot. If it's crap, then it's only 5 bucks.

haha thanks for the info. Now i know to never use Berkly vanish =]

BassinNC · 01-21-10, 08:55 AM

Same here. I was planning on getting some until bigbassin144 set me straight.

I don't think BB144 is telling you not to use it. As always, you can make your own decisions. Just make informed decisions, and know that the reviews are mixed.

BassinNC · 01-21-10, 02:41 PM

Well I personally havnt seen any problems with it but I don't want to lose a fish on the count of line.
I would rather spend a few more dollars on some line just for mental reason.

Ahhh, yes. The infamous Berkely Vanish. I've participated in the discussions about this poor excuse for fishing line in the past and I won't rehash it here other than to say that it frays too easily and breaks often - especially at the knots. I use flouro leaders on almost all of my setups now except for top water applications because I mostly fish clear water. I've had much better luck with Triple Fish fluorocarbon which is value-priced relative to other brands.

I've never used Siglon and don't know anything about it.

Ok Siglon is a product of Sunline. Thanks for the other suggestions and info. What I want to know is Siglon (Sunline) a good line?

carolina-rig-01 · 01-21-10, 10:07 PM

Sunline is one of the best flourocarbons out there. Not to say that Siglon is near that good because I have never used it.
