Anyone having issues with the newer “plasma rise” version of Sunline sniper fc? I have a bunch of old bulk spools that are running out and it’s time to re-up. But I’ve heard hook up tackle say that they’ve had all kinds of issues with the more recent spools of sniper that they’ve completely stopped using it.

I was curious if anyone else has had recent issues with sniper? I bought some Daiwa hidden fc for the time being to get me through since that feedback got me spooked on sniper for the time being.

I live with the same fear.

I guess I'll have to shell out for Tatsu.

I have tried the new Overtex with the Plasma Rise and I have mixed feelings about it. It slick and casts well but I have had random break offs that are just in various spots in the line and not at the knot. The line doesn't seem damaged in anyway. It's just weird. I have had this with two spools, 12lb and 7lb. I have not had this issue with any of their other lines.

As long as the regular sniper is available I’ll use that.

Never had or have a reason to charge regardless of what they do

I heard that has problems too. A bunch of Sunline products are having real issues, but its spotty. The lighter Shooter and Sniper like #8 and #10 has been solid, but the heavier stuff is boo boo. I just bought a crap load of sunline PE before hearing it. Ive got Almight on my BFS outfit and its done well so far.

My buddy uses Sniper FC and hasnt had issues, but I think his line is rather old.

The new spools all have it

Sniper and Tatsu are the only mid strength flouro’s I’ve ever used.

Hopefully it’s just a learning curve type thing that always happens when something new is introduced.
