Fluorocarbon Recommendations?

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I am getting ready to order some line and tackle, and am going to give 100% fluorocarbon a try on one of my spinning and one of my baitcast combos. I see Suffix has a new Castable Invisiline that doesn't completely break the bank. Any thoughts on this or any other options. Thanks in advance guys...

I've used 100% Flouro in 10lb on spinning gear, 8lb Viscous, 14lb 100%, and P-line Flouro......

To me, at least with these lower end lines, they are all pretty much the same.

Personally, I'd be inclined to stick with the 100% for the time being. Because it isn't terribly expensive, works well, and is readily available.

FWIW I hear good things about the BPS XPS, and it may even be made by one of the high end manufacturers.

Dependant upon the applications for which you’re searching out line, I would make different recommendations. Point of reference, if you’re looking for a very good cranking fluoro, the Berkley 100% is a great line in 12lb, but I’ve not had as good of luck with it in ten pound; by diameter, the 12 is more than adequate. As a dropsht rod, for instance, InvizX is a great line. It’s very good on spinning gear, as well. As a general line on casting gear, you’d be fine with 14lb from basically any of the major manufacturers like Toray, XPS, Seaguar, Trilene, or similar. While you’re going to find that there are users of one brand that will swear by it, you’ll find more from users of other brands. I’m a pretty hardcore advocate of Seaguar, having been fishing it since the early 90’s. Seaguar is also the only company out there that has no outside involvement in making their lines, they’re the only company that actually produces their own resins; no other line company can say that.

For what it's worth...
