I been out of the loop on brands of line and the quality of lines.

Has anyone tried or used Carbotex Carbon texture coplymere fishing line??? Its suppose to be double coated silicone coploymere line.

I also found a Vicious coploymere line also is that any good?

I fish everyday now and my line does catch a beating. I find that colpolymere line also lasts longer too.

I got away from cheap bargain basement regular mono mainly because of fish that i lost when i first started bass fishing. I used garcia river line for many years for trout fishing. I switched to Silver Thread copolymere and its awesome quality stuff but very expensive. Then i tried Cabela's Pro Copolymere line and it seemed the same as silver thread in performance. It was half the cost of silver thread and of course they discontinued it. I like the coploymere because of less line stretch over mono. The mono is like a rubber band when we compare it to coploymere. I get a better and quicker hookset with no lost fish 99.9% of the time with using coploymere.

Or is there another manufacturer of coploymere line out there. I just may have to bite the hook and go back to silver thread.

I'm not old school but i'm somewhere inbetween old school and modern. I never thought the quality of line was important until i fished for bass.  Funny my cheap spinning reels didn't last either thats another story. Score  Cheap fishing reels "0"  Bass  "10" on that one.

Me first. Yozuri Hybrid. :)

Yes, I had some of the Carbotex line. I received it as a sample to test. It is stiffer than even any  fluorocarbon line I have ever used. Yes it is smooth, but is like fishing with wire. It doesn't qualify as a filler for my reels. I trashed it.   

copoly on a baitcaster? CXX in 10lb. otherwise , i would go with braid.

I agree with this statement. CXX is a really good well priced line(Cept I would go with 12 to 15#). try braid it may be just what you are looking for.

GAMMA makes a good co-polymer line.  Carried by Cabela's...

Yo-Zuri Hybrid works for me.
