Someone give me the lowdown on this stuff. I bought some and was wondering if I made a good or bad buy

I think you did. I have 8 pound i'm happy with,and would buy more!

I hate the stuff.

The Best Fluor for the price Period IMO

There is a reason Dick's sells 100 yard spools of the stuff for $4.  :

I know in past threads the overwhelming majority hated it, I used it for about 5 minutes before it was off my reels.

Friends don't let friends try Vicious Florocarbon 

I would have asked here first..

Like Tin, I didn't give it much of a chance. Someone

sent me a filler spool to try. Fished it for an hour

or so...that was it for me.

:-X

Its brutal.  The worst casting Fluoro I have ever used--hard as a rock. 

On a somewhat separate note-  votes on the softest, smoothest casting Fluoro/s on the market??

I just started using 6lb on a spinning rig.  So far so good. I know lots of people hate it but I haven't found anything to hate yet.

i will never use it again. it lasted one outing before it was removed from my reel. too stiff, lots of memory. i even conditioned it before and during use. bps is the one i use now.
