Sunline flouro

Featured Replies

I know a large number of you have experience with sunline. I have never tried it, mainly due to the fact that I don't quite grasp how or why they name their lines (shooter, sniper etc). Seagar is easy for me invizx for finesse or clear water and abrazx for heavier cover. what sunlines would I use for flipping/pitching, cranking and finesse like shakey head or drop shot?

Sniper is a good all around fluoro. I used #14 for pretty much everything except in heavy cover I went up to #20.

sniper for light spinning, shooter for heavy cover its like army men terminology. 

All my set ups that I run fluoro on, I run Sunline. Have had really good experience with sniper so far. I used to run invizx for all my fluoro needs but I've found sunline sniper to be noticeably easier to work with. Not to mention sniper has a smaller diameter than invizx/abrazx at the same # test rating. I will note sniper does seem to stretch a little more than seagaur fluoro but is still very sensitive. 

 

I gained so much more confidence in sniper when I was snagged up in some gnarly submerged debris recently. I was so hung up I decided to use the situation to learn a little more about the line (18# Sniper). I tugged and tugged. Wrapped my limbs with the stuff. Stepped on it. Put my whole weight into the line, yet it refused to break. Not at the knot, mainline, anywhere. Ended up bending out a heavy duty flipping hook. Best part I'd say though is that my line was hardly even nicked or kinked where it had been rubbing all against the crap at the bottom. Since then, it's all I'll ever buy in terms of work horse fluorocarbon.
