I've had good luck with Seguar Abrazx, Trilene Professional 100% and Spiderwire Fluoro. All three have proven to be stout lines. I even bent a shaky head jig hook out when it got hung on a brush pile in 25ft of water when using 12lb Spiderwire Fluoro. I thought for sure I was going to break...but it wouldn't break. The Abrazx is $35 a spool so I'll probably not use it again.

STAY AWAY FROM THE FOLLOWING!

Stren Fluorocast - broke off 3-4 times in one day with this stuff. Cost me a tournament.

Berkley Vanish - breaks well below the line's rating according to my personal testing

Abrasx is only $20 a spool.

Ya I've heard Stren Flourocast left alot to be desired.

I agree! I tried it out on my dropshot set up and broke off at least three fish just on the hookset. I tried various knots, nothing really worked with it. I've since switched to trilene 100%, no problems yet, great line!

I got some spooled and ready to go....now, only if I can fine the time to sneak out.

What type of knot would you recommended for use?

It depends on what # test you buy. I was just at BassPro and it was $35 there for 25lb...$30 on Tackle Warehouse.

Obviously. Most brands don't carry 25lb fluoro and if they do it is usually expensive.
