6lb fluorocarbon suggestions

Featured Replies

Seaguar Invisx is my go-to, very good stuff

^ InviszX is what I normally buy

I don't do the BFS deal but I agree with the above posters about Seaguar Invisx, though I'd opt for Tatsu. Yes, the price tag is much higher but IMO, it is that much better of a fluorocarbon line and with 6lb test, there's no room for error.

No recommendation just a question, why 6# specifically?  Thanks

I like Mastiff.  

 

Mind if I ask how it is compared to others, like Sniper or Tasty?

Ummm…. We are talking about fishing line. Not some beast you can throw a saddle on to ride around. That happens to bark.

What is your budget? If no budget, I’d get Tatsu. 6lb fluoro is dangerous. Get the best you can safely afford

I can spell it out if you like: Shimano Mastiff Fluorocarbon Fishing Line

Might not be the best of names but, maybe the best of line !!

The single-best fluoro also happens to be the most expensive, with maybe no stock in US - Toray Solaroam ExThread - just has all the right properties, limp, low memory, tough - and they get there with a different formulation in each size.  

2nd best is Tatsu.  

Probably can't go wrong with Invizx, especially if you see yourself buying a bulk spool.  In the salt, I fished nothing but Abrazx for a decade.  

 

If the question ever comes up what makes fluoro "invisible" in the water - fluoro transmits 100% UV, while mono absorbs enough to create a UV shadow.

Back around 2010 Blackwater Fishing was a local supplier for Toray Solaroam FC and started using it in lieu of Shooter FC the 1st available on 100+ meter spools that I knew of in the late 90’s.

Not aware of JDM suppliers back then finally gave up on Solaroam FC when the price hit $35 for 85 meters. Seaguar came with Tatsu about that time $40 200 yard spool. 
BSF bait casting reel 6# Tatsu will fill a few times, best choice.

Daiwa Samurai FC. I've been liking Samurai for BFS lately.  It performs like sniper. I like it because I can get it with 2 day prime. Some of the other lines are harder to get through Amazon. So if I'm not making a big order through TW to get free shipping,  I'll just order Samurai from Amazon.
