Vanish floro jumped up and bit me in the arse! I've been defending this line every time the argument has come up here. Last two outings I've broken off 4 fish with 14 lb test, not a happy boy! Could have taken a check but no. It's time to move on and find another solution. Possibly a bad spool but I can't take the chance anymore! I cannot in good concience, recommend this line now the I have experienced the "vanish" syndrome!

my advice, go with sunline. youll get a ton of people on here sayin seaguar but ive had so many break offs on hooksets with that stuff its ridiculous. sunline sniper is by far the best fluoro ive ever used. i think youll love it if you try it.

I hear a lot fellow fisherman with the same complaint. However, I've been using it for almost 10 years now in various tests with no problems. Go figure!?

i use 7 lbs sunline for spinning and 12-16 lbs sunline sniper or shooter
never had a problem with breakoffs. try buy 200 yard spool of sunline and use it and see what happens

Vanish has zero knot strength and abrasion resistance. Pure garbage. Go with P - Line 100% fluoro.

i totally agree with you guys on this. Sunline is one of the best choices out there. Seaguar is pretty good also. However, I love the benefits afforded by sunline aka line managebility, smooth line lay, line diameter. It's an awesome choice and very hard to beat it especially when you get it for a discount.

Vanish....what happens to your fish when you set the hook with this line.

I've never used the red box, only invizex, never had a problem with it works extremely well with KVD line and lure. I like seaguar, but I've been wanting to try the Sunline regular 100% floro.

Any line will break. Doesn't mean it's junk. Vanish has a terrible reputation, though.

True that!

Vanish breaks just when it really matters.

thats what happens to the fish on the line...from what Ive heard myself

I use Seaguar now...but in all the fluro's I have used I have had breakoffs- I love the feel the line gives you but as far as "abraision resitance" I have not really found anything I really am in love with. I like rocks, but rocks do not like fluro-I need a kitchen timer for my next gear purchase because I have a bad habit of "one more cast" before I retie and it always bite me back.

Jon, have you ever tried Seaguar Invizx? I love it. Super limp and manageable and never had any issues with it breaking off.
