Best Flouro For Under $15? 2024


fishing user avatar*Hank reply : 

As the title says I'm looking for the best fluorocarbon for under $15.

I've thought about p-line flouro clear and others but just need advice for what kind is the best?


fishing user avatarJGBassinAL reply : 

The only fluoro I have liked in that price range is Sunline Super Fluorocarbon. Treat it with a little KVD Line & Lure and it is actually a great line. If you can wait Tackle Warehouse usually has buy one get one free towards the end of the year on Sunline Super Fluorocarbon and you could get it even cheaper.


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

I use seagar red label.


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

Sunline Super is the only one I would recommend.


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

P-line fluoroclear is not fluorocarbon. The best low price one I've used is Sunline Super, but I wouldn't buy it again. In my opinion, it's worth a few more bucks for Sniper; or I'll just use a good mono. If you wait a couple weeks for Black Friday sales, you can get the better stuff at 25%-30% off.


fishing user avatarOregon Native reply : 

Believe Silver Thread is around that price...have used for years....no complaints

+2 for cranking, jerks, pitching docks etc
fishing user avatardeep reply : 

Why do you want a cheap fluoro (why not a good copoly) and what techniques are you looking to fish with it?


fishing user avatarWIGuide reply : 

Haven't tried one under $15 that I like. I'd spend the few more dollars and go for the Berkley 100% Fluoro. I see you can get a pony spool for $10.99


fishing user avatarcottny27 reply : 

I bought some Red Label in 10#  this past Spring for cranking. I have no complaints.


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

"Best" is a relative term when it comes to economy priced fluorocarbon line.

fishing user avatarskeletor6 reply : 

I don't try to save money buying fluoro. Good fluoro pays for itself when longevity and lost lures is considered.

I would get invizx if you made me, but sunline fc sniper on a discount or BOGO is best.


fishing user avatarDarren. reply : 

P-Line Floroclear is a copoly line that is coated 

with fluorocarbon. It has *some* benefits of pure 

fluoro.

 

That said, it is a great line, IMO. There are plenty 

who have had bad experiences with it, and plenty 

of us who really like the line.

 

Low-cost pure fluoro recommendations, like A-Jay 

said, are relative. But if I were to throw out some 

ideas to you, they'd be Red Label, Bass Pro XPS.

 

For me, I need to keep the line baitmonkey off my 

back. I've got PLENTY of spools of P-Line floroclear 

and YoZuri Hybrid to last me years. Not to mention 

some XPS fluoro.

 

All such lines for me last even longer because I use 

them as leaders only.


fishing user avatarAlonerankin2 reply : 

I use Red label # 20.. It's fine in soft cover, if rock fishing, you would be better served with a harder FC line...

Red Label

Red Label

fishing user avatar*Hootie reply : 

I use seaguar abrazx for my contact baits and red label for everything else.

fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

Save up $3 and get Invisx. Otherwise, try YZ Hybrid or CXX. 


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

When asked back in February to try Seaguar Red Label & give a review I spooled a reel with 17#. I have not change line since, leaving the same line on for 8 months.

With this setup I throw spinner baits, swim jigs, buzz baits, & rat-l-traps. The line exhibited good knot strength, abrasion resistance, & low coil even after 8 months.


fishing user avatarLogan S reply : 

I use Red Label for everything. It's a good combination of performance and price. The Sunline Super FC feels spongy compared to RL, I personally don't like it.

You can't really go wrong with RL. It's not the best, obviously...But I actually prefer it to some of the higher end stuff. If you go through a ton of line like I do it's almost a necessity. Bulk spools of RL hurt a lot less than Sniper or others.


fishing user avatarfisherrw reply : 

sunline fc sniper is the best!!! go catch a wopper hank!


fishing user avatarJeziHogg reply : 

Don't cheap out on fluorocarbon.


fishing user avatarRaul reply : 

P-Line Floroclear is not FC, it´s hybrid line.


fishing user avatarspartyon8 reply : 

Basspro is a few weeks might have their brand on sale.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Sunline Super Fluoro


fishing user avatardesmobob reply : 

Experimenting with cheap fluorocarbon is what convinced me to stick with braid.  :-)

 

The lines I tried were all used on spinning reels, which I think may be less forgiving of line quality.  No loss for me though, as I use the line  six feet at a time as leaders on my braid.  I think Invisx was the best one I tried; cheap Berkley was the worst.

 

Tight lines,

Bob


fishing user avatarMacDaddyFishin reply : 

I've tried Seagur redlabel and I've tried Viscous both lines I'm extremely happy with. Currently I'm still using Viscous.


fishing user avatarTurkey sandwich reply : 

Yo zuri hybrid is probably the best bang for the buck. I use both that and Invisx and the Hybrid has done well for me over the years.


fishing user avatarBassSlayer71 reply : 

I've had great luck with Spiderwire.


fishing user avatarLewi reply : 

I've used the Red Label and liked it.  Want to give the Sunline Super a try.


fishing user avatarmebisho reply : 

Not sure what the best is, I'm still experimenting with Flouro, but I can say this, DO NOT buy Spider Wire. My experience with that crap is horrible. My wife's sewing thread is tougher that that Spider garbage.


fishing user avatarbassr95 reply : 

Red Label.


fishing user avatarSmokinal reply : 

It doesn't really matter, does it? It's only used as leader material anyway.... :slywink:

Right.  I tell all the guys in my club to use Vanish for their leaders.....

Perfect J

 

And that would make a most excellent X-mas gift for each of them . . . .
