Seaguar Red Label
long island basser reply :
While I like and use sunline sniper, a cheaper flouro that Darren has mentioned red label is ok.
Smelter96 reply :
Red label for leaders is what I use. I also bought some Kastking Fluoro off amazon and it's actually decent stuff. Prefer sniper, myself, however
Bassguytom reply :
I like Vicious for a cheap fluoro it has never let me down.
JigMaster4 reply :
I would also say Red Label, when I first started fishing flouro I picked up some Red Label at Wally World to test it out, I mean it is no Tatsu or even Sniper but it does a really good job for its price.
nascar2428 reply :
Another vote for red label, however that is solely based on my experience as a leader. All of my setups have braid for the main line.
mojojojo reply :
I have a reel spooled with Seaguar invisX 12lb for crankbaits. The stuff is excellent. Its not too pricey either
d-camarena reply :
Sunline super flouro is decent also. I switched from sniper to super because its hard to find sniper here. I like it but havent used it a whole lot
Bluebasser86 reply :
Seaguar Red Label is the best value fluoro I've tried, and I've tried a lot of them.
Brew City Bass reply :
Surprised no one has mentioned Vicious.
lakeannaangler reply :
Red label or stren fluorocast
J Francho reply :
I wouldn't skimp here. Use a time tested copolymer or coated line like CXX or YZ Hybrid, if you don't want to spend a lot on line. These lines are less than $10 a filler spool.

Red label.
roadwarrior reply :
Red Label for leader, InvizX for spinning tackle and AbrazX for baitcasters.

Fixed that! Don't use reel fill for leader, unless you're in a pinch. Real leader material is much stronger, more resistant to abrasion, and more forgiving with connection knots.
buzzed bait reply :
i wouldn't skimp either, it will leave a bad taste as far as fluoro goes. Also, use some cheap mono backing and only use 60-75 yards of the fluoro and you'll be able to make it last much longer and even spool more than 1 reel with it...
J Francho reply :
I use a little more, like 100 yards (two reels per 200 yd filler spool) only because I cannot stand feeling the connection knot.
Steveo-1969 reply :
It gets no love here, but I've had a pretty good experience using Gander Mountain brand fluorocarbon. It's thicker than Seaguar or Sunline but handles pretty well for me with KVD L&L, I'm using 10# on a baitcaster right now. I can't compare to Red Label because I've never used that as a mainline, but it's about the same price. $25/400 yard spool.
J Francho reply :
Actually, I'm pretty sure that it's the same as the BPS private label "XPS Fluoro" which was decent stuff before Invisx and Tatsu were widely available.

It's made by sunline and pretty sure it's sunline super fluoro.
Capt.Bob reply :
Seaguar here I like the Abrazx, I use it for everything, I'm sure there is better, but I know there is worse, the Abrazx for me is a good all round Fluoro that holds knot good and does a good job on abrasion resistance.
cottny27 reply :
Red Label for cheap, AbrazX for middle of the road.
rippin-lips reply :
Red label was fine as a leader for me. As a main line I didn't care for it much. Trilene 100% was good to me and isn't super expensive. The bps brand treated me good too. I have settled on sniper for my fc needs over the past few years.
cottny27 reply :
I have been using the yo-Zuri soft for the past couple months and may forget about fluoro for awhile. Stronger and handles much better. The 10# feels as strong as any 15# fluoro imo.

^ +1 on these choices, although I now use AbrazX for leaders, too.
I used to really like InvisX for bait casters, but I fish where there are a lot of Zebra Mussels and the AbrazX really does hold up a LOT better.
Tight lines,
Bob

I can't say if it's really Sunline, but it's not far fetched that they would make the line for them. XPS is made by Toray, IIRC. There's a reason it's called "private label." It's just the stores label put on a product privately sourced by the store's buyers. Many companies provide products for private label store branded items.
BassThumb reply :
The best value on the block is Red Label.
5/10 for quality, 10/10 for price.
K_Mac reply :
Another vote for Red Label. Easily manageable and durable. Great line for the money.

Gander Mountain fluoro is definitely made by Sunline because it says that on the box. I don't know if it's exactly the same line as Sunline Super Fluorocarbon, but if it is then the GM line is cheaper. $25/400yd vs. $30/400yd
