I never used Vanish, but my dislike for Stren rivals some of the above hatred of Vanish....you've got a half dozen or more suggestions above...funny, but none of them are for Stren...and few of them are $40/spool....what's the question?

I've used stren mono (only mono I'll ever likely use again) and thier braid before,(pretty good stuff as well).

 

 

The only line brand I hate is spider wire. Tried one spool of mono when I couldn't find any stren, never again will I touch that brand.

 

 

Most of the FC line from Seaguar or Sunline averages around $20 for 200 yard spool. 

Stren is 1/2 the price and you get what you pay for. Whatever you choose get line conditioner like KVD or Tangle Free.

I have been using Vanish 6lb on my spinning gear for three years now. No complaints from me, I like it a lot.

the chances are greater of me pulling my own hair out to use as line than spending nearly 40 dollars on a single spool of line.

so i can see alot of hatred towards vanish,

 

what about the stren flouro ? is it worth anything ?

Again, I'll suggest the Seaguar Invizx. You can usually get a spool of it cheaper at Academy Sports than anywhere else, like $18. Sometimes they'll mark it down as cheap as $12. I know it's more expensive than mono/nylon lines or Vanish fluoro, but to me it's worth it. I'll always spool my reels with FC like I do with braid. I fill the reel spool about 1/2 way with super cheap mono, then top off with the expensive fluoro or braid. Saves a lot of expensive line. 

 

If that option doesn't work for you, then just use some Berkley Big Game or Yozuri Hybrid. Both are good lines & very economical. 

I have used a lot of different types of flouro and the best value i have found is p-line 100%.  It costs just the same as the other good lines like seaguar except you get 250 vise 200 yards.  I get three good fills on 15lb which is what i use on my jig rod.  It seems to be the best value and if you have extra it makes great leaders.

 

Yo-zuri is fantastic and i use that a lot to!!!!
