 What line are you guys using for the most part. I dont have time to order anything, as I plan to go fishing this weekend...and will pick stuff up tomorrow if now today. Most likely at my local Academy, Walmart, local Chucks Bait & Tackle. Just need advice on a good fluro carbon...ive only used like three;

 

Viscious....low down was knot strength wasnt to great.

 

Berkley Vanish Flurocarbon....that stuff sucks...

 

Seaguar Invizx too much stretch...and I noticed a decrease in weakness of line after fishing it in reallly muddy water.

 

 

What would you guys suggest

For flouro, I liked berkley 100%. Its pretty good. Theres alot better I'm sure.

I just use yozuri hybrid/ultrasoft now. .... and PPbraid.

If you're in a rush, berkley big game is a good mono. So is tripplefish camo if they have it.

My lines ive been using lately are

 

Sufix performance braid

Pline floroclear

Pline cxx

maxima ultragreen mono

yozuri hybrid

 

All pretty affordable and great lines. My flouro recommendation would be sunline sniper.

Guess it all depends on what's available at those stores you mentioned.

 

I don't have a lot of experience outside of XPS Fluoro (pretty good); Vanish - for leader material only, if I'm desperate (never); Seaguar Red Label (meh, not bad, not great, sufficient), Vicious - returned it....

 

The only way I use fluoro, mono, or copoly these days is as a leader.

 

But to be honest, my first choice would be either P-Line Floroclear (fluoro-coated copoly), or Yo-Zuri Hybrid again, as a leader-only. The only fluoro I'm using is XPS.

I'm using 30lb regular yellow Power Pro with a 12lb Berkley 100% Fluoro leader where necessary.

If we're talking fluro and you don't like InvisX, try Seaguar AbrasX or Sniper Pro. 

If you stick with Sunline or Sufix you should be good to go.

  • Super User

In this order:

Tatsu

InvisX

i used sufix 832 and Slick8

also use Seaguar Tatsu Fluoro

I dont ever touch mono anymore

  • Super User

Currently I'm using:

8lb Berkley Trilene mono

20lb Spiderwire Stealth braid

40lb Power Pro braid

  • Super User

Sniper (US and JDM)

Shooter

Tatsu

Toray Polyamide Plus

Defier and Defier Armilo

 

Rarely use anything else. Sniper is far and away the best value of the bunch.

 I bought some Sniper...still need to decide one a braid thinking i may with suffix or powerpro

I use fluoroclear and sufix fluoro for leaders on 832 braid

Yo-zuri hybrid, 10#

Silver Thread, 10#

Izorline Platinum, 12#

Izorline Platinum, 10#

Sunline FC Sniper, 12#

Seagaur Invisix, 12#

Seagaur Red Label, 6#

Seagaur Smackdown, 40#

Power Pro, 65#

P-Line CCX, 17#

I really have no loyalty. Some I like better than others, but I just buy whatever is on sale when I am buying line.

If you're going to Academy and don't want to spend a lot of money, try the Sunline Super in the blue box.  It's by far the best budget friendly fluoro I've used. 

 

I use Tatsu and Sunline Sniper on most of my reels.  Tatsu is the better of the 2 but it costs a lot more.

If I'm not using braid I like suffix siege

For braid I like power pro and 832.

I used to use straight fluorocarbon on everything but recently I've switched to suffix 832 with a p-line shinsei leader ,been loving it great braid & line.

  • Super User

Shocked no one has mentioned Gamma fluorocarbon, stuff is absolutely incredible. I have used only Sunline Sniper and Gamma for a long while now, both are great, although doubtful they sell either at your local shops...

Sufix 832 & P-Line CXX.

  • Super User

I try to keep things simple. Out of all the fluoros I've tried over the years I've settled on Sniper. To me it offers the best performance vs cost.

Power pro = braid

Sniper = fluorocarbon

Yozuri = copolymer
