Not that cost isn't a factor for me, but long ago when I was debating whether or not to spend the extra $$ on a Gortex rainsuit or get something more budget friendly, my buddy told me, "When it's cold, rainy, and windy and you're dry and comfortable, you won't be thinking about how much you spent on your outfit."

 

I took his advice and bit the bullet.  He was right. 

 

So now I apply that approach to much of my fishing.  Line is super-important.  It's the difference between an awesome memory and another "one that got away" story.  So I don't skimp.  It's Tatsu and InvizX for me, although I've been trying the R18 and am loving it (Dang baitmonkey!!).  But don't forget BasiX is an awesome budget-friendly fluorocarbon with many of the same great properties of more expensive lines.

 

All that said, those dang walleye will still slice 6-lb Tatsu like a hot knife through butter.  Don't ask me how I know!

Its great line but its not worth the price... it is not 40% better than invizx

 

For me anyway..

I tried it in 6, 10, 12, and 14lb in the clear version.  All had the same issues. I tried 12 and 14lb in the green.  It fished totally different for me. 

 

On a side note, with all that said, I like Sunline Invisible better than J-Fluoro Hidden Concept and I'm starting to like R18 LTD better than Tatsu. 

I thought I would mention that kid is on year three. I noticed today his is a little stiff but still very serviceable, probably not a lot of KVD line spray which I use maybe two or three times a year.

 

Still no complaints from me.
