Seaguar Red Label or Vicious Pro Elite..?

Featured Replies

I've decided i need a, 100% Fluro. Both of these brands 500 line on one spool. I have 4 Baitcasters that need new line. Feedback on these brands would be great.

Red Label no question.

Anything but viscious

You didn't ask but yo zuri and izorline xxx would be great great alternatives. I don't think anyone NEEDS floro. It's not the most manageable mainline. Plus you can get a 1200 yd spool of xxx for $16.

Fluro line catches more fish. I was with a Buddy, he has Fluro Line and i had Grand Slam Coated. Well he out fished me

Have you ever thought about using a leader?

I did, but i rather have Fluro as my main Line.  I use 60 Yards of Mono Backing before i'll put the Fluro on.

Red Label will work fine for you if you keep some KVD line conditioner close by.  Its pretty soft and easy to manage, but I've never tried anything higher than 12# test.

red label is a pretty solid line for the money.

i steer away from fluoro that begins with a "V" (vicious, vanish)

I got some KVD coming. I may be getting some 12 and 15 not too sure yet. The Diameter for 15LB test is like some 12LB Test Lines. I'm confused by that though.

what are your intended uses for the rods/lines?

i would use 10-12 for cranking and 15 for jigs/texas rigs

Ive been using the 15 lb test for about 6 months now as my first flouro and has       performed pretty good. Moving to yozuri hybrid now to see the difference.

Seaguar is quite thin.  The Seaguar Senshi mono is even thinner.  I have one combo that I throw cranks all day on with 12# RL and have no issues.  I just soak it with KVD the night before 6 or 7 sprays and you're good to go.

Yeah, 15Lb Test is for my Jigs and Worms. I'm mainly a Swim Jig, Vibrating, and Jerkbaits.

Yozuri hybrid, i rather get a Fluro and not a Coated Line.. I've heard about the Line though.

I highly recommend you steer clear of the Viscious fluoro. Got it in the 8 lbs. test and the memory was worse than 20 lbs mono despite stretching. 

.....and Vanish.  Its terrible.  Them two are on the same level imo

Thanks guys.. I'm sold on Seaguar.

Good cranking line/very manageable, but not sure I would recommend it in heavy cover with jigs.

I used Grand Slam Coated 12Lb Test in Lilly Pads and around timber. I think the 15LB test is, perfect for all types of fishing

Ok, its probably similar in line diameter.  I go as light as I can get away with.

I do like flouro, im just trying yozuri for a season to see if theres much of a difference. Especially at its price!

I've had very good luck with Vicious in 12lb for finesse jigs, above that I'd go with Red Label.

I got a several spools of vicious free from them several years ago.. Fished the 10 and 12 lb. on my jig and plastics rods. I never had any issues with it either.

It's not as manageable as invisx or sniper . I never use any kind of conditioner.
