Buying a bulk spool of 12# Floro

Featured Replies

Invisx or Super FC Sniper for use on MH crankbait rods (casting) and JWR leader material.  They are about the same price for a 660 spool where I am.  Any preferences?

Sniper is a little harder and less stretchy.  

It wouldn't be a proper post if I didn't suggest one you aren't looking at.  Daiwa J Flouro is pretty sweet too.

Sniper has served me well as a leader; thin, strong, and works well with fg/sdj knots.  I can see the manageability issues though as it coils pretty good on my 20-30' leaders.

I use Sniper for most everything, however I suggest you use neither. 

You’ll be better served using leader material specifically made for that purpose. 
 

Sniper and InvisX are great used as a main line as they are intended

Seaguar just came out with that new leader Pounce. Been meaning to get a spool and try it out.

Been testing that out on a GLX and Bantam combo.. 22 pound. Very good stuff so far.

That is what I would recommend for sure. 
It’s one of the best on the market and has been proven to be worth it.

How's the abrasion resistance on the J Flouro compared to sniper? Looking at 10lb, have to contend with zebra mussels and rock on deep current ridden marina harbors.  I retie often.

Why use FC? Maxima Ultra Green copoly 8# (.010D) or 10.# (.012D) has very high abrasion resistance and stronger knot strength, try a filler spool before buying bulk spools.

Less stretch and higher density

  • Super User

Stretch is equal higher density is correct.

I'm on Champlain and the St Lawrence.  Totally fine.  I'd say slightly harder than sniper

  • Super User

The highest abrasion resistant FC that I have found is Sunline Shooter. 
Diawa J Fluoro is close to Tatsu in performance. 
Consider Seaguar AbrazX for abrasion resistance, I have no experience with AbrazX only used Tatsu.
