Difference between florocarbon lines?

Featured Replies

I have used Berkley Trilene 100% floro and really like it. My question is there much difference between Trilene 100% Gamma floro, Stren 100% & BPS XPS floro? I have tried Vanish and did not like it.

Yes, they all exhibit different characteristics (strength, stretch, abrasion resistance, shear resistance).

I've tried Trilene 100%, Vanish, Stren 100%, XPS and Viscious.  So far Trilene 100% and Stren 100% give me everything I want.  Didn't mind Vanish.  XPS was too shear prone (line splits).  Viscious sucked.

I use Trilene 100% or Gamma on spinning reels, usually use the slightly stiffer BPS on casting reels because it's cheaper.

I had a sales guy tell me that Trilene 100% & Stren 100% are the same line made by the same company.

I have been experimenting with the Seaguar Inviz #8

on spinning tackle and the AbrazX #12 on baitcasting.

gear. Give them a try, I think you will like both!

I think they're the same line.  They exhibit similar characteristics.

I mainly use Trilene 100% on my casting rods but on anything 10# and under (my spinning stuff) I use Sunline Super Sniper fluorocarbon. I'd use it on my casting reels too but I cant afford it. It's expensive but its the best fluorocarbon you can buy in my opinion.

Just got back from Dicks Sporting Goods and they have 8# Stren Fluorocast 100% fluorocarbon in 200 yrd spool for $9.99. The lable looks different that the Stren 100% Fluorocarbon that I see advertised for $14.99. Is this the same line? And Stren has a rebate of $6.00 if you purchase two spools of any Stren line.

Never heard of the stuff.

I am looking for a flourocarbon with less memory than Vicious. I don't like the big companies, ie: berkley, stren, bps.

There is two stren Fluorocarbons, the fluorocast is the equivalent of vanish; while %100 matches with Trilene %100

The lines are identical because theyre both made by Pure Fishing.

I like the Seaguar Inviz X.  It's a lot better than Vanish imho. ;)
