Ended up going with the Seaguar Invizx. I was going to get the red label to try it out but they didn't have it at Dick's. I was already looking at the ratings of it on Bass Pro and seemed like the highest rated by the most people. I guess I'll try backing the reel with stren and put 65 yards of invizx try to get 3 spools out of it.

good move.  Red label is ok but the memory on it is pretty bad.  If you still dont have that thumb trained well, Red Label is not the line for you unless you like picking out birds nests.

I did get some twisting as the line was coming off the spool when I spooling the line onto my reel so I hope this won't be Cabela's Pro Line all over again but only time will tell I guess.

I've had good success with the red seguar fluro. But i have only used it in saltwater.

^^This guy knows whats up^^ It works great in freshwater as well. 

Huge fan of Tatsu.  I feel that it's the best bang for your buck fluoro currently offered in USDM right now.  Some of the JDM lines are superb, and will outgun Tatsu.  That being said, accessibility and price are the factors.  I feel that Tatsu has the best combination of qualities out there right now for a solid all purpose fluoro.

I guess I'll be the first to put Silver Thread on here. Have used for years and have found no reason to change. Great leaders too.

I use the Ande flouro in saltwater. Sometimes I'll use it in fresh.

So I got my line on. I have 85 yards of stren 12 lb backing tied to 12 lb invizx on my crankbait setup using a double uniknot and I don't really like how it looks. I just started using an Alberto knot tying braid to fluorocarbon on my jig and worm setups. Would the Alberto or Albright knots work tying monofilament to fluorocarbon or is there another better alternative. I just don't want my line getting stuck on my spool or damaged when the line eventually gets closer to the knot on the cast.

how many turns did you use when connecting the backing to the line?

Agree. 6 lb really good on spinning reels too.

6 turns as I usually do when tying a clinch knot.

If its a knot for backing, i use 2. You should never cast to the knot anyway. Its only there to keep 2 lines together.

Yeah it's for backing. I'm not worried about getting to the line. The knot is going to bulge out from the spool as it is bulkier than line itself and I'm just worried about the tag ends cut close as they are may still catch the line during the cast or damage the line as it's going over it.

Use a finger nail clipper and make those tags almost non existent. Its crazy how a little bit if a tag can be a huge inconvenience.
